Secluded Boulder is a bouldering area on Lynn Water Supply Land in Massachusetts, a cluster of boulders with five routes spread across the same stretch of land. It sits among several other named boulders, including Sponsor Boulder, Behemoth Boulder and Evil Boulder, all about 0.1 mile away. The climbing here is all bouldering, with five routes ranging from V1 to V6. Walking on Eggshells is the easiest at V1, and Egg Hunt is the hardest at V6. Moral Compass, a V4+ route, was first climbed by Pete Otis. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Reading show May highs around 70°F and September highs around 75°F, while winter brings regular snow days from December through February. The closest neighbors are the other boulders within a tenth of a mile, and the Eagle Rock Trail is about 1.5 miles away for a hike.
