Boston: bouldering or gyms?

Post by SCIN »

So I'm in Boston for a day and am wondering if anyone knows if there is any bouldering or a good gym around. Seems like Boston Rock Gym is one of them but there may be some more?

Also, driving in Boston is freakin' insane.

Oh yea....anything cool to see?

Also, as I was flying in I saw that one of the islands had a bunch of buildings on it. Kind of like a college campus. There was a long bridge heading out to this. Does anyone know what that is?

I went out to that gym, and I was OK. Not a lot of bouldering, but they had like three cool crack routes. OK people.

Man, I hated driving there. Everyone is in suck a hurry, I thought I was going to die for sure. The only *fun* thing I did was to see the Blue Man group. That is a pretty cool think to do.

SCIN, Go to the gym in Dracut, about 30 minutes north of Boston. Some really good climbers set routes there and I can even give you the phone number of a friend who should be there this evening along with some other climbing peeps who frequent the RRG. PM me if you want the info.

That may have been UMass you saw. I don't remember any bridge but I know its in South Boston. I think they made some new land though when they did the big dig. The biggest bridge is the Tobin, it heads north out of town. If you have any time next time you could try the Quincy quarries, if they haven't been developed, there are also some places off Rt. 9 west of town. Also some ledge rock in Franklin Park and a small park I used to live near call Ringer Park in Brighton, don't know if its bouldering quality though. Eat some calmari. Eat some fish chowder. Driving is truly a treat. I learned how to make my own parking spot while living there...just because the guy in front (or behind) is parked doesn't mean you can't move em.

Thanks for the info y'all. I ended up having to work pretty late but I did manage to get to the Boston Climbing Gym. It was so-so.
