Description

Located right near the infamous Assonet Ledge, these boulders are situated on a hill off the gravel road that leads to the top of the ledge from the parking gate. These boulders are easy to miss in the Summer due to thick leaves, but keep your eyes peeled, and you'll see them.

There are three boulders all right next to each other: a lowball warm-up with a large crack, a slab boulder, and a wide traverse boulder that has most of this area's problems on them. I found these boulders during COVID lockdown and spent a lot of time messing around with them. I stumbled upon them accidentally and found some lines which I think other local climbers will enjoy.

Getting There

Google "Assonet Ledge hike". From Route 79 South, take a left on High Street across St. Bernard Church. High Street turns into Bell Rock Road, so continue straight past the train tracks and Copicut Road. After passing Copicut Rd., the entrance is about 1/2 mile down. Park at the gate, but don't block it.

Hike down the gravel road, and eventually you will hit an obvious fork. Bear left at the fork, and walk for a solid half mile or so. Once you start approaching a hill, the boulders will be on the left of the road up a small trail. You will be able to see them from the main gravel road. The first boulder you'll see is the warm-up boulder, which is small and has an obvious crack. Just behind it is the slab boulder and some other loose stone and behind that down the small trail is the traverse boulder. This is the only cluster of boulders before you get to the actual ledge.
