Access Issue: Closure information? Details

Per Diego Concha: I called the DCR today and spoke to a ranger who said they no longer allow climbing at Rattlesnake Rocks because of endangered species that live near the crag and are sending climbers to Quincy Quarries nearby.

Description

This is a nice chunk of quality rock that is probably all of 25 ft tall at the most. It actually lies just north of Wampatuck Rd. It is approached via hiking up the dirt road a short way, then breaking off right on the first faint trail, heading N for a ways. It lies just E of Ships Prow. Long slings are useful for anchors. While you can boulder these problems, a fall could prove costly. Old bolts & pins on top can be supplemented with gear including a #10 hex.

Getting There

To get here, drive I-3/SE Expressway to exit 8, go to Wampatuck Rd, towards Chickatawbut Rd. Park on the N side of the road past Bunker Hill Quarry. Walk back E and find a dirt road on top of an embankment covering a pipeline. Faint trails break off to the right.
