3 Trailside Rocks

Just north of the Fire Wall, the Metacomet Trail passes over a series of smaller cliffs. There is excellent rock here, though few crack systems. Two of these cliffs were included in Hooked on Traprock. However, there is also a third short cliff farther north without documented climbing. The southernmost cliff faces west and south with an obvious bottomless arete in the middle (Fat Finger Factor-5.10 R). About 100 feet to the north is a clean west-facing slabby face. The prominent arete on the southern end of this outcrop is Sneak Thief, 5.6 (no gear).
