This is pretty classic bald arete. Sit start and scrape the flesh of your fingers away as you move up and right. The crux is toward the end when the arete gets pretty bald.

 It is right above a stream so best climbed in dry patches. If it wasn’t for the landing, this could well be 4 stars.

The Pine Street Arete

There are two walls with plenty of holds located right of the road and just off Route 128. Locals have been messing around here for decades. It is a great spot for a quick session after work particularly in the pre-gym days, though I’m not sure how much it gets visited now. There are some great dynos to be hucked and a true highball. If you walk a half minute into the woods, you will find one of Cape Ann’s more classic aretes.
