Strong Boulderers Meet Your Projects from JoeM's blog

So I know there are some strong boulderers out there that need a kind of dating service to meet up with some hard open projects in New England. I'm going to attempt to get some info out on some hard project that need some loving. Below, is a stunning beauty of a roof project. Easy sit start to a good hold leads to a long move (pictured below) out of the roof to a pinch with a small seam. From here, it's anyone's guess as to how this one will go. Location: Gilbert Hills State Forest in Foxboro, Massachusetts. Comment if interested and I can get you directions (it isn't that easy to find). Also, comment if you know of any lonely open projects in the New England area.

There is a project at Lincoln Woods over near the pond cave... i think its a project at least. Joe you would prolly know. if you are in the cave facing the pond it is on the right about 30 feet up the trail. Starts in a small roof then goes into tiny crimp, arm breaker side pull. Then the move i can't do to a tiny crimp rail.

I think you are referring to the Campus Problem which some old woods locals sent BITD and called V9. MikeR and I gave it a go the other day and it is hard. Long move to the crimp was stopping us. Things gotta be at least V10.

JoeM Jan 4 '12

oh yeah, we dismissed the arm breaker sidepull you referred to as too risky...

jamier Jan 4 '12

Yea man that things is wicked wicked hard, campus problem eh... prolly the match. Looks sweet, gets real awesome sun in the afternoons.
