It looks like Guelder rose, also called crampbark, that I have recently learned after reading a book on backyard medicinal plants by Matthew and Julie Seal.
They provided an easy recipe to make a decocted tincture from the bark of Guelder rose that had a number of uses if taken internally. It could also be used as a liniment rub for aching muscles.
I have not tried this yet, but I would like to try it for sore muscles if I find enough to safely harvest a small amount of the bark to avoid killing the plants.
