Quarryman’s Arete is a great alpine-trainer!

From the talus field, climb the obvious ridge. Stay on the ridge, favoring the right side for better climbing.

 Currently, there are two very precarious blocks near the top of the climb. They add to the alpine feel but should be avoided.

Quarryman’s Arete

I believe this area was once a part of Flat Ledge quarry. Since the closing of the Rockport Granite Co. and the filling of the reservoirs, this area has been made independent of the main quarry by the trail and land between. This pit has a lot of potential and feels like a mini-alpine area.

 In the winter, it sometimes grows a massive curtain of ice, great for toproping or a solid leader.

 As with all of my posts, names given are working titles, any information about these areas is welcome and will be incorporated. Cheers!
