Hey, just wondering if anyone knows of any good splitters in or between buildings in Boston. I'm thinking of things like Super Crack of Denver or Sobriety Test in downtown Flagstaff, AZ. Thanks in advance.

probably a great way to get arrested in boston... just saying. You could go solo the underside of the bridges that cross the river. Thats been done a few time, but its not crack climbing

A few years back my bro and I did a small amount of buildering around Boston. Don't remember finding much in the way of cracks smaller that off width. Most of what we did find was in Somerville and Cambridge. Some faces, arches, neat little features.

I felt like we had fewer eyes on us when we left the big city, though I don't know who's police would be more lenient.

Good luck.
Joe.

decent laybacks at fenway Park. Hancock tower is a classic but pretty high. MIT student building has some seams but not much.

Play it safe, reduce travel time and just build a crack machine and hang in your or a neighbor's back yard.

I don't know of any splitters, but the guide book Boston Rocks does comment some on city bouldering.
