So it begins...

[BlueEyeMountain.com]

Spring is finally here and Darryl and I are hitting Lynn Woods.  I finally found the Bob Johnson boulders on Thursday and was quite impressed (one of them may be the best boulder in the park).  Apparently I need to do a lot more exploring on the south side.  We'll be parking at the Penny Brook Road entrance (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=&daddr=42.476528,-70.986099&hl=en&geocode=&mra=dme&mrcr=0&mrsp=1&sz=14&sll=42.48577,-70.995026&sspn=0.02785,0.054932&ie=UTF8&ll=42.477794,-70.986013&spn=0.027854,0.054932&z=14) and hiking into the area off the Comel Path.  From the north end of the field/basketball court at the Penny Brook Parking area, follow the path (Jackson) to the fire road.  Stay along the water on the fire road for a quarter mile or so until the road starts to climb left.  There's a path on the right side (Comel) that continues along the water.  Follow the Comel path for a minute until you pass a stream and then start heading up left from the path into the boulder field.  In a few minutes, once you reach the top of the hill, you should see a huge boulder.  If you are salivating uncontrollably, then you have found the first Bob Johnson boulder.

 

We'll probably be at the parking lot around 12:45 and staying out for a few hours.  From the Bob Johnson boulders, we'll probably be heading to Union Rock (on the map) which can be accessed from the fire road.

Darn, sorry I missed you guys today!!!  I was at LW last weekend scoping out some of the bouldering spots located on the Brava map -- looking forward to getting out there this year!  Weather forecast is currently looking sweet for next weekend, we'll see if it stays that way as it gets closer.

Hey Jon and all,

Hope you guys had a good sesh. I'm psyched to check out some new
stuff. Actually that sounds like the area i hit with Pete last
spring. Really good stuff. Although I've got to pass on bouldering for
another week or so. I decided a few days ago that i should take at
least a week and a half to let the tendinitis in my elbow rest. It
started acting up about a month ago and i haven't really stayed off
it.

I did manage to get out surfing a day last week and then again
yesterday. Really good in RI. If I can't climb for a bit i'll be
looking for more waves in the meantime. Darryl and Danielle, get
ready, the water is still cold now but should be starting to warm up
soon.

Later,
Rich
