Turtle Boulders

Turtle Boulders is a bouldering area in Massachusetts, about 0.7 miles from the town of Black Rock. It sits among a cluster of climbing areas, with Skyline Wall just 0.1 mile away and Whitney Thayer Woods and Knob Hill Wall each about 0.2 mile off. The boulders here are all rated V0 or V3+ on the V scale, and the routes are short, so a visit can be a quick session on a single rock. The most comfortable months for climbing are late spring through early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Hingham show highs around 68°F in May and 74°F in September, with July the warmest at about 83°F. The routes at Turtle Boulders are all boulders, and five of them are listed, including Left Awk and Right Awk at V0 and Eye of the Turtle at V3+. Jason Clark first climbed them all in December 2019. For more climbing, Skyline Wall and Whitney Thayer Woods are close by. Mountain bikers can head to the Dirty Dozen trail about 1.2 miles away, and paddlers will find the Great River Race about 7.5 miles off.
