Philosophy Wall

If The Matrix is not the least-used and least-appreciated spot at North Shore, this is. With only two or three bolted routes and a few trad routes on limestone and lots of toprope routes, this place gets little attention.

The local guidebook lists over 30 toprope routes from 5.6 to 5.11d. There are numerous bolted anchors up top. Some require long slings or some cord instead of just quickdraws. Many routes share anchors.

To get to the top, lead a bolted route or scramble up 3rd class terrain off to the right.
