Halfway Boulder is a bouldering area in Massachusetts, about half a mile from the town of Lynnhurst. It sits among a cluster of other bouldering spots, with Final Exam Boulder, The Cube Boulder and Ridge Boulders all within about a tenth of a mile. The climbing here is all bouldering, with 11 routes spread across the V0+ to V6 range. The easiest is Ginger Snaps at V0+, and the hardest is Bringing the Lumber at V6. The median grade is V4, so the area works for climbers of different abilities. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Marblehead show July highs around 80°F with lows near 61°F, while January highs average about 36°F. Other bouldering is close by, including the Golf Course Area about 0.3 miles away. Mountain bikers can head to the Old Goat Path (OGP) about 1.6 miles off, and the Rumney Marsh Restoration hike is about 2.4 miles away.
