Hi everyone. The wife and I are planning a trip to Lincoln Woods in the early spring. We are hoping to meet up with a local(s) to show us around as partner up with. Send me a pm if you'd be interested and we will go from there. Thanks.

you're taking a trip specifically to climb at LW?
either way.. post up on NewEnglandbouldering.com and you will get a better local response.

depending how long you are staying you should take the 1.5 hr drive up to Pawtuckaway also... way more rock.. way nicer area. never considered LW a destination

I had read that LW was 'New England's premiere bouldering area' with hundreds of problems on stellar granite. I boulder only and love granite, so I assumed it would be my kind of crag. Thanks for the advice, looks like more research is in order.

It is nice for what it is but it's very urban. Pawtuckaway might be a better choice.. not sure when the snow melts up there and stuff dries out. If you come up for more than a few days then going to both is totally doable

sounds like a good idea. We have 3 days to climb, so that sounds possible.

There is a pretty cool guide to Lincoln Woods in the current issue of Deadpoint Magazine if you can get your hands on it. PM me if you can't find a copy.

Thanks for that info. I'll be able to grab a DPM in the morning.
I'm watching vids of the climbing there and a couple of the problems look interesting, alot of moderate stuff which is perfect for us.
