M_Sprague I ran into Wickaboxet Management Area (RI) this afternoon to look for the Broken Moon boulder, a sweet 20 foot egg. I found it and a bunch more undeveloped ones. There is good stuff there. I can't wait to go back with a pad, brush and more time. The boulders are not near the main ledge. I grabbed a few photos and posted them up in MP

brianc the two largest boulders were the one with Broken Moon (classic crapmypants v6 top out) and something else I can't remember just a short walk along the jeep road from Broken Moon (to looker's right of Broken Moon). scattered other boulders offered up some short problems. miss the box.

M_Sprague You should come on down and refresh your memories. Dana posted up a few of the routes to start and I put directions to the Broken Moon and coordinates. The other boulders are basically running to the north from it. If you hunt that way you will run back in to the jeep trail (Welch Hollow rd), with a couple boulders on the east side of it.

The parking on Welch Rd is really minimal, so if you have a posse, please try to carpool for the last bit or hike in from the main Wickaboxet parking (only 10 minutes more).

I am going to try to get out there this weekend (not sure what day yet), but I also want to hit up a boulder in Arcadia to finish a project. If anyone wants to meet up, send me your phone # and I can let you know when I am going.

M_Sprague The stuff on the Broken Moon boulder is haaard! Broken Moon is excellent and completely spanked me the other day. Also, if you are looking for a really hard (double digit) project in RI, this is a boulder to go too. Bring you sloper ability, power and crimp strength. Also bring a ladder and brushes to get the fine coating of lichen off.
