Local Massachusetts Ice Climbing

 There's very little ice climbing worth checking out in Massachusetts. Suffice to say it's a surprise when you find things that actually look good. I think this one is in the Todd Swain Southern New England Ice Climbing guide. I'm not going to say where this is (ask me privately) since I think access might be questionable and I believe a local land trust may be looking to acquire the property. It is a beautiful spot, near many local trails in very western Massachusetts, and acquisition for preservation makes sense. It's also likely the "best" ice climbing area in the Bay State, there are several lines, and the potential for a few more.
