Today I did something I'd been meaning to do for a while: I explored the obscure city park known as Waitts Mountain (elevation 220 feet), which is less than half a mile from the hill on which we live. There's a rock-climbing club that apparently uses the place on occasion, because there is a little cliff there that is congenial for practice. There are some pieces of metal hammered into the rock at the top that I assume are related to this.

It's odd that, for something called a mountain that is in the middle of a more or less urban area, its mere existence is not easily deduced from the nearby street. It isn't much of a mountain, really. But there's a rather nice view of Boston from the top, better than what you can get from the much larger Pine Banks, and you can also see out to the water a little to the north. There is also, oddly, a basketball court. People leave a lot of garbage up there too, unfortunately.

I took some more pictures, but they weren't that great. I should go up there sometime with my tripod when the light is better.

Update: Sorry about the invisible pictures. World decided to have a major outage (which I think was partially planned) minutes after I posted them there.
