The Sweetest Thing

Start with left on a good sidepull and right on the same starting crimp for The Sweetest Thing. Pull way out right for a bad edge/pinch (same hold for The Sweetest Thing) (crux) and then bump off an edge or shoot straight up for a small sidepull/crimp with your left. Establish your feet high and top out.

Looking at the boulder from the road, this is the line that climbs the left arete. Start with your hands on a large jug/shelf. From here, bump up to a large sloping edge or all the way up to the next jug/shelf. From here, move straight up to a huge edge, get your feet high, stand up, and grab the huge jug at the top.

Start as for Jerry's the Name, Sociology's My Game  and trend out right to a series of sidepull edges. From here, establish your feet on bad footholds and make a big move to a sloping edge.(crux) Match on the sloping edge right next to it and continue up to the high topout on slabby terrain.

This is the sit start to Black and Mild. Start with your left on an undercling and right on an edge. Pop up the the starting holds of Black and Mild.

Begin on the Shelf Hunter start, and bump up and match, instead of continuing up. Move left to a decent crimp, rework your feet (there is potential for a horrible heel hook to your left), pop your right hand up to the highest crimp, and make a controlled move out left for a far reaching good crimp (the 1st crux). Bring your right hand up to the above sloper jug, and bump it up to the sloper above and to the right. Next bring your left hand up to the prior sloper, rock yourself to the right, and hit a good two finger pocket - your middle and ring finger felt ideal (the 2nd crux), reach up left to a great rail, and proceed to top out.

Start sitting with your left hand on a sidepull and your right on a small crimp beneath it. Get your feet out left. Lifting of the ground is tough. After you are off the ground, move your right hand to a horrible sloping crimp. Then move your left hand to a very small crimp up and left (crux). Proceed to top out.

This is a large, four sided, glacial erratic on Center Street in Groveland, Massachusetts (in the far northeast corner of MA, close to Cape Ann). This is NOT a destination. However, it is a great place to go if you want to do some eliminate training.  

  If you are looking at the boulder from across the street, you can see the front side which is about 20 feet tall. This side of the boulder has two great highballs on it.  

  Looking at the boulder from the street, the steep right side is the best Stickney's has to offer. This steep wall has holds all over it (almost all of them are chalked up) and the possibility for hard eliminates is infinite. This is an awesome part of the boulder to train on. The backside of the boulder does not have anything to offer, but the left side has two of the only pure boulder problems (not eliminates) here. Although most of the harder boulder problems at Stickney's are eliminates, there are a few that not.
