Weetamoo Boulder is a bouldering area in Massachusetts, about 1.2 miles from Merrimac Terrace. It sits among a cluster of climbing spots, with Patina Boulder, Elephant Boulder and the Weetamoo Area all within about a tenth of a mile. The boulders here are the main draw, and the routes are all rated on the V scale, ranging from V2 to V7. The climbing is bouldering only, with 15 routes in total. The easiest is M. Curry at V2, and the hardest is C. Fusion at V7-8. Pete Otis is listed as the first ascender on several of the more challenging problems, including J. College Boy at V4 and K. The Swell at V7. For timing, late spring through early fall is the most comfortable stretch. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Middleton run from highs around 67°F in May to about 73°F in September, with July peaking near 81°F. Mountain bikers can find the Deep Woods Trail East about 0.1 mile away and the Overlook Trail about half a mile off.
