Start as for "The Villain". Instead of traversing along the crack, move straight up to the lip, and then traverse the lip to the apex of the boulder, and top it out. This is a great junior lip traverse is you're not ready for Sit Down at Lincoln Woods or Bodacious/Bulletproof at Pawtuckaway.

Sprucing It Up

This is a deceptively tricky V3 that is perhaps even harder than that grade. Sit start on the face right of the prow where the mini-overhang meets the obvious, diagonal crack feature. Make some tricky moves left along the crack with slippery feet and some finicky body positioning. Work around the corner to the juggy part of the crack, and top out from there finishing as for Hang Ten! and Vesuvius.Let me know your thoughts, this was a difficult one to grade!

This may be the best of the grade in the Douglas State Forest along with Water Fountain (Mine Brook). Sit start at the farthest hold left on the left face when looking at the obvious prow feature. Traverse across the face with surprisingly slick foot holds and fun, flowy movement. Once to the prow/arete, get high foot holds, and make an awesome deadpoint to the lip up top. Finish with an easy topout.

This is probably the best line on the "Swampside Boulder", and it is on the left side of the trail just before "Volcano Rock". Sit start on the arete beneath the boulder's apex, right next to the trail on an obvious hold in the horizontal crack. Move straight up.There are a couple other routes on the boulder; however, most are about the same grade, and this one is the best movement/most aesthetic. There could be a sweet lip traverse on the back of the boulder, however, which hasn't yet been attempted.

This is basically a direct start to Hang Ten! but is a bit easier and has a few less moves. Start sitting at the base of the prow feature with both of your hands pinching the arete. Make a move up to the obvious horizontal crack and then a deadpoint to the top. This has only a couple moves, but they are a couple good ones!

This is basically the direct version of Hang Ten! Start as for Hang Ten!, but instead of traversing the crack, step up a high foot into the crack to make a balance-y move, and reach for the lip. This is basically just one move.

This is the place to be if you want a short approach, cruiser lines, and a beautiful location. Located behind a huge cedar swamp, accessed via an awesome network of boardwalks is a section of dry land with two great glacial erratic boulders. Most routes are on the easier side; however, there is still plenty of quality.
