Hi Yao Left

Great problem with precise feet, though it is all of three moves. Start low with your left hand on a good sidepull and your right on the arete. Pull off the ground and slap blindly to a horrible rail around right, adjust feet, and mantle up the beautiful top edge.  

  It is short, sweet, and pretty darn hard but definitely a one-move wonder. 

Climb up on great holds, hence the name. It has positivity the whole way up, but it is definitely highball.

SDS, top out the lower right side of the low wall using three-finger crimps and a good throw to the top. Sidepull to the left is off.

There are two main routes up this boulder. This is the one to the right of the spray paint which goes straight up. There is also the one that starts directly on the spray paint area. Above the word "Am" is off and above the e's in "Enemies" is also off. Both are V2 climbs.

Start on same starting edge hold as Bug Shit in My Hair. Move right and up the prominent diagonal edge for an easy topout.

Stand start on edge just to the right of the diagonal crack. Do a short traverse on a face to the right moving up to a crimp and then to the jugs for a topout.

Sit start on right side of overhang on positive holds, climb up and left along the prominent crack/flake using heel hooks, top out using a high right pinch. 

  Metal spike in the rock is off!

Sit start with your right foot on a small rail and hands on good edges. Work up and left over the distinctive, face-like block using good edges and sharp, three-finger pockets.

Within St. Moritz Park, the most Northeastern section of the blue hills before residential Braintree leading up to the Rattlesnake Rocks area, there are a few scattered and short crags (or highball boulders), most of which are a short walk (or visible) from Wampatuck Rd. 

  Most of these crags are very small or boulders and so would be a nice addition to a day at Rattlesnake Rocks or a short afternoon excursion if Quincy Quarries is crowded and one finds oneself without a rope. 

  If any of these crags have known names/routes and you find that I have labeled them wrongly, please feel free to change or PM me. 

  I will update this area with routes, etc. as I explore more. 

  First crag - look right when St. Moritz Pond is on your left, almost immediately upon entering the park (0.2 miles) and just as the road starts to go uphill. This crag consists of a small 15 foot double wall. There is also a worthy boulder up the hill. 

  Second crag - just across the street before the closed pullout onto the fireroad that parallels the Rattlesnake Rocks main crag, there is a fire road that heads east. Park along the road (there is a pullout downhill on Wampatuck Rd.) and walk on the trail. The crag and a couple satellite boulders will be visible on the left just down the hill. This crag is the same dark very fine-grained granite as Burger Boulder, bullet hard with good edges and incuts, and consists of a taller 25 foot section, a short and very hard overhanging roof, and a low wall with a couple boulder problems on top. There is a small but excellent boulder on top of the crag and a couple more in the woods surrounding.
