A blog for local climbers, by local climbers

Everything you need to know to send in the Southeast New England area and beyond

Climbing has always had a tradition of mentorship. Climbers have always taken the lead in passing on knowledge, techniques, and ethics from one generation to the next in the hopes that those who follow are inspired to be better leaders.
