The proud line up the tallest part of the face of Devil's Rock. Sit start on a flake and use the arete and large rails to work your way up. Crux involves some balancey moves up pretty high that can be scary if you don't know where you're going, but the good landing makes it perfectly safe.

 Variation without the arete goes at about V4* and has some fun dynamic moves, ending further to the left.

Bang Bang

Suburban Purge is a hard line of crimps in the middle of the main face of Devil's Rock. Make an interesting mantel type move to a crimp rail, and from there, decide for either a gaston with a big cross or a large dyno/deadpoint to juggy rail and easier topout.

Inverter Converter is a fun, short, little climb, probably one of the best climbs here. The beta is very funky and quite fun to figure out, so I won't spoil too much of it for you.

This is the clear line of extremely sloping holds on the right face of the main boulder. It was cleaned and tried a little bit but is still open for the FA. I haven't tried it for a while, but at the time, this felt like it could be double digits.

Start in the crack where the two halves of the boulder meet with one hand around the corner and one just inside. Climb the arete using slopers and a few cheeky crimps a little above. Traverse left, and mantel to top out. This is really fun and less dabby than Inverter Converter.

The line starts sitting towards the left on an obvious jug that is below an obvious sidepull. Start low, use a wonderful foothold to help you grab the sidepull, match it, and top out as you see fit. The topout could be direct (dynamic), using some crimps, or using an interesting pinch towards the top. 

 The line is right above a 12" pointed stone, so please be mindful. If you use it as a bonus foothold, this climb becomes V0.

Start on opposing sidepulls at about head level, and work your left hand up before shooting for a sideways rail above. This is a very clear line, although it is somewhat obscured by lichen plates.

This ascends the right side of the right arete of Devil's Rock. Fun slab movements using almost exclusively the arete lead to one desperate move using a left foot smear to an arete jug. This gives way to an easy, but tall, topout. 

This starts on the opposite side of Sharon's Side Pull on a jug that faces Devil's Rock. After establishing the start, this crosses over onto the arete of the steep overhang, tops out on the lip to the right of the arete.  

Start sitting with good holds at the right arête of the same boulder as Sharon's Sidepull. Fire up to crimp, and top out. This is short but fun. I am not sure if this has been done before, but it seemed worth adding to the problems here.

Sit start two hands on the obvious flake. Climb upwards. Shoot your right hand far out to the first sloped shelf, bring your left hand to wherever feels like a good spot for you to adjust your feet, and mantel onto the slabby, finish section. Slab climb towards the upper right lip, and shuffle to the top.

 The downclimb is extremely sketchy! I highly recommend using the old ropes to just walk down the large slab.

Located on the "Massapoag Trail" in Sharon, you'll find Devil's Rock: a 20+ foot glacial erratic that features a giant slab, a very tall, vertical wall, and more. Right next to the behemoth Devil is a pair of smaller boulders, one with a very nice looking overhung roof with an extremely sketchy landing.

 All of the rocks should be cleaned much more since moss, lichen, weeds, and little branches definitely block a bunch of potential lines.

 This rock is decently well known among crunchy nature folk in Sharon. There are two very old ropes attached to the top of Devil's Rock. These ropes are hung down the giant slab. Random hikers climb up the slab while holding the ropes. This was a lot of fun as a 10 year old local, but ditching the ropes proves better.
