Gerry Hill
About
Gerry Hill is a summit in Massachusetts, about 1.7 miles from Medford. It makes a short, close-to-town objective, and it sits among a cluster of bouldering spots and walking routes within a mile of the top. For the most comfortable weather, aim for late spring or early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Reading show September highs around 75°F with lows near 53°F, and May highs around 70°F. The station sits a little below the summit, so temperatures up top can run slightly cooler. Climbers will find Theta Boulder and Deer Hill Boulder within half a mile. East Dam Road, about 0.4 miles away, and Hemlock Pool Path, about a mile out, offer easy ways to extend the outing on foot.
