House Rock is a climbing area in Massachusetts, about half a mile from the town of Weymouth. It is a compact spot with a small number of routes, so it works well as a short outing close to town. The climbing here is a mix of trad and top-rope routes, with a few boulders. Five routes are listed, and they range from about 5.5 to 5.10- on the YDS scale. The West Side is a 5.5 trad route, and the Southeast Corner is the hardest at 5.10-. The Southwest Corner is a top-rope route at 5.7, and Hand Crack is a 5.8+ trad route. For a change of pace, the Main Street Trailhead BLUE TRAIL and the Mediterranean Trailhead Blue Trail are both about 2 miles away and are used for mountain biking. St. Moritz Park Rock, another climbing area, is roughly 5 miles off. Paddlers can head to the Indian Head River, about 10 miles away.
