The Roofs is a bouldering area in Massachusetts, set within a town forest on city land. The climbing is all on boulders, and the area holds 11 routes, ranging from V0 up to V7. The most common grades sit around V2-3, with the hardest route, Nightcrawler, at V7. Late spring and early fall tend to be the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from the nearby West Medway weather station run from highs around 71°F in May to about 76°F in September. That station sits roughly 160 feet lower than the boulders, so temperatures up top run a little cooler. Several other climbing areas sit about a tenth of a mile away, including Quarry Land, Back Hillside and El Hefe. The Milford Byway mountain biking route is about 1.3 miles off.
