Tower Boulders is a bouldering area in Massachusetts, about a mile from South Lynnfield. It sits among a cluster of climbing spots, with Rotary Boulders half a mile away and The Pond Boulders and Treehugger Boulder each about 0.6 miles off. The area has three routes, two of which are boulders and one a trad climb. The boulders are graded V0 and V1+, and the trad route is rated 5.5. "Don't Slip" is the V0 boulder, and "Reach of Faith" (also known as Sprawlmart) is the V1+ boulder. Both were first ascended by Dave Twardowski. Summer is the warmest stretch for climbing. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Middleton run to highs around 81°F in July, with September still near 73°F. Winter is cold, with January highs around 35°F and lows near 16°F.
