     Back in June, after hearing much spray about the awesome bouldering, a group of Lincoln Woods locals made the drive up to Erving, Mass. to check out the bouldering at Farley Ledge. After checking out some of the established classics, all eyes turned toward this impressive arete that the Farley crew had eyed, but did not have the spotters or the pads to attempt. Spurred on by a bit of friendly competition and loads of enthusiasm, Pete Ward comes close to sticking the big dyno. All photographs by Joe McLoughlin.
