Mack's traverse is a climbing area in Rhode Island, about 0.8 miles from Saylesville Highlands. It sits among a cluster of named climbing areas and mountain biking trails, so it works well as one stop in a day of bouldering, sport climbing or riding. For the most comfortable conditions, plan a visit for late spring or early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Woonsocket show May highs around 70°F and September highs around 75°F, with July warming to about 84°F. Several other climbing areas sit right next to Mack's traverse, including Lilypad Boulders, Warmup 2.0 and Dam Wall, each about 0.1 miles away. Mountain bikers can head to Split Rock Trail, also within a tenth of a mile.
