    Tips

    February 3, 2024

    Red Rock is the name of the largest granite dome in the Red Rocks Conservation area and stands at 230 feet above sea-level. From this bare rock summit, you get views through the trees of Gloucester, Rockport, and the ocean. On Red Rock and the surrounding granite walls and boulders you can frequently see rock climbers on spring, summer, and early fall days. The rock quality that made Gloucester and Rockport major quarrying towns also draw rock climbers who enjoy what is considered by some to be the best top-roping (climbing with the rope anchored above you) in eastern Massachusetts. When exploring the summit you might come across some climbing anchors. Please keep a safe distance from the edge and do not touch these anchors, someone below you might be relying on them for their lives!
