While many people have heard about
Long Wall at
Northwest Branch and wondered where it was, most people I talk to don't even realize that there are any boulders further down river from there. Well there are! Keep walking until you're close to the I-495 overpass, and you'll find another small collection of boulders. Although most are too small to really be worth climbing, there are two before the overpass that I like to climb, and one further down that I'll address in a future post.
I haven't been able to find any references to established problems on these boulders, so I've just marked the things that I do when I'm down there. But hey, it's not like there's any neon tape telling you where to go, so do your thing and have fun.
For the first boulder, start looking across the river as you approach the overpass.
