She said she grew up in the area and graduated high school in the mid-1990s and remembers some of the deaths that had occurred at the quarries in Quincy and in Milford. Shelley Lebert, of North Attleboro, was showing some out-of-state family the cliffs and spray-painted murals on Sunday. The site is known for people sneaking there to drink beer, smoke pot or light fireworks at night.

Teal said that he never felt unsafe while climbing there, but was concerned about the amount of broken glass and trash that litters the quarries, wishing that the city or state would install some trash cans. "I don't think I'd ever come here alone," Agla said. Kirsten Agla, of New Hampshire, and Matt Teal, of Boston, were rock climbing with a group of friends at about 11 a.m. I think they could be useful here," the rock climber said. The quarries had more than a dozen visitors on Sunday, rock climbing, walking and spray painting, adding to the myriad colorful designs covering the cliff faces.ĭustin Colson who grew up in Jamaica Plain but was back visiting from Virginia, said the area can be dangerous and added that maybe a set of climbing warnings could be posted at the entrance of the reservation, emphasizing caution. She was taken to Boston Medical Center with serious but not life-threatening injuries. The fire department responded to a similar incident in May after a woman fell about 60 feet from a ledge in the area of Swingles Quarry. The department said rescue responses at the quarry tend to increase in the summer as recreational activities pick up. The injuries did not appear to be life threatening, Burchill said. Burchill said the man suffered “quite a few” injuries, but was awake and knew what was going on when first responders found him. He was conscious when rescuers arrived and took him to the hospital for further treatment. He landed in the basin below near a small lake but just missed falling into the water, the department said. Quincy Fire Deputy Chief Tim Burchill said on Thursday the tops of the quarries can become slippery and it appeared the man was walking on the top of a moss-covered cliff when he slipped. The man, who is in his 60s, suffered extensive injuries after he apparently slipped and fell down a rocky, 40-foot cliff, the department said. The Quincy Fire Department said the man was found on Thursday by a hiker who heard him moaning in pain in the Quincy Quarries Reservation.
