Quincy Quarries-S Wall

An interesting climbing experience to be sure, Quincy Quarries is urban climbing in the extreme. Located just south of Boston this open pit quarry closed in 1963 and over time climbers and more recently graffiti artists moved in. The rock is excellent, but much of it is coated with a thick slathering of Krylon®. The overwhelming majority of the routes here are top-rope, rigged from easy walkups. If you are in the Boston area the quarries are worth checking out, just clean anything worth pilfering out of your car.
