In the past several years, the locals near my school have been exploring a small boulderfield located on a hill known as Grindstone Mountain.  Over the past decade or so, local kids and weekend wariors cleaned of several of the boulders.  But two years ago a troup of dedicated boulders from the area realized that Grindstone had more potential and it was a great place to catch an afternoon session.  We began cleaning boulders left and right and several more gems were discovered.  Though much of the climbing was contrived and chossy, a few classics were cleaned off.  We began documenting the progress and eventually I released a video about the area and the progress made.
 
Unfortunately, access issued closed the field down and we have been forced to climb elsewhere.
