Pine Rock Left Wall is a bouldering area in Sherrin Woods, Massachusetts, about 0.1 mile from the Pine Rock Main Wall and the Sherrin Woods climbing area. It sits among a cluster of climbing spots, with Stony Brook Reservation and the Pinnacle Area both within about 1.6 miles. The climbing here is all bouldering, and the routes are graded on the V scale. Five routes are listed, with grades ranging from V0 to V2. The Sherrin Rocks route is the hardest at V2, and the Itsy-Bitsy Slider is the easiest at V0. For comfortable weather, late spring and early fall are the best bets.
