Reddit reviews Rock Climbing New England (A Falcon Guide)

Climbing in Boston is better than ever. There are at least 5 gyms within 10 miles of Boston Proper:

-Central Rock in Watertown. Amazing bouldering, toproping and lead climbing. Highest walls in the city.

-MetroRock in Everett. Huge variety of climbing. Gets very busy. Events and classes abound.

-BKB in Somerville. Very new and very hip. A nice space but with major flaws in terms of gym design. Expensive.

-Boston Rock Gym in Woburn. An older gym, solid, but with smaller walls and less overall climbing. More affordable. Old school crowd.

-Rockspot in Dedham. The smallest of the 5. Great setting with hard routes. Affordable.

Of the five, BKB, Central Rock and MetroRock are T and bus accessible. Rockspot and Boston Rock Gym I believe require a trip on the commuter rail.

The Greater Boston area is also home to lots of great outdoor climbing for any level.
