Getting the Beta on Beantown Burgers: Climbing in Boston, Ma

OVERVIEW

Are you home for the Hoolidays? Do you live in Boston? COME CLIMBING WITH US!

John Cooney (the trip co-leader) and I are itching to get on a wall, so we’ll be hitting up the Rock Spot climbing gym in South Boston on January 4th. Also, if you haven’t heard, Boston Burger Co. sells its 420 burger for just $4.20 between 4:20pm and 5:20pm on weekdays (yes, this is for real). Once we finish climbing, we’re going to be heading across town to take advantage of this blazin’ deal!!

Also, if it’s your first time going to rock spot, please sign the waiver before we go! You can find it here: https://bit.ly/2zrYXlD

~ Transportation Information ~
This trip is going to be pretty informal, so we’re not going to be organizing rides. The rock gym is in Boston and a 9 minute walk form the Broadway Red Line stop, and Boston Burger is around the corner from the Hynes Convention Center Green Line stop. Therefore, we highly encourage taking advantage of Boston’s *excellent* public transportation. It’s better at rush hour, and better for the environment! If you have any questions about navigating the T, just text me! I’m a public transportation ninja and have been taking the T since before I could walk so I would be happy to help!
