About The Playground:

This complicated crag just past The Overlook consists of a jumble of formations, but two huge roofs provide useful landmarks; the one in the middle of the crag is the Six Pack Roof, and the one at the right is the Elementary School Roof. TR access can also be found on the right of the cliff. The climbs face SW and can be a good bet on winter days. This area also has one of the best hard climbs around Boston, Elementary Direct. Routes are ordered left to right.
