Temple Area is a climbing area in Massachusetts, set within the Webster Conservation Area. It sits among a cluster of other climbing spots, with Cuba Boulder, Hermit's Cave and Pusherman Wall all about 0.1 mile away. The area has two routes, one a boulder and the other a top-rope climb. The top-rope route, The Cave, is graded 5.10 on the YDS scale. The boulder is rated V0- on the V scale. For comfortable weather, late spring and early fall are the best bets. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Jamaica Plain run from highs around 69°F in May to about 75°F in September, with July the warmest month at an average high of 85°F. The Charles River Greenway and Walking City Trail Section 3 are both about 3.2 miles away, and the Sudbury Aqueduct Trail is about 3.4 miles off.
