Hi Pawtuckaway locals: I'm hoping to get up there from Boston tomorrow morning, and was hoping you could point me to some good problems to work on. I'm going to park at the Deerfield Rd. entrance, so I'll be entering near the Summit boulder area. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated: I've never been there and will be kinda lost.
Thanks!
Jan

Oh, man, I wish I had my guide book right now :\
Sorry I didn't see your post sooner, anyways. I've never been to the Summit Boulder Area, and though I've read a bit about it, I don't remember too much so won't be of much help here. I'm quite familiar with the Upper Cliff and Lower Slab and have walked through the Boulder Natural Area, and can tell you that this is all wonderful climbing if bouldering/top-roping is your thing (as it is mine).
If I had know a LITTLE bit further ahead of time (like, yesterday, maybe) I probably could have got the guide book and helped you out a bit more, but I'm afraid there's not too much for me to say here.
PM me if you have any questions you think I can answer, and I will try. I think there are a few links to Pawtuckaway sites on the New Hampshire page, so you might wanna check that out.
Again, sorry...
-Jules

No reason to be sorry Jules, thanks for your response. I actually just found a partner, so I think I'll go to Rumney instead. I'll definitely be heading up to Pawtuckaway sooner or later though, and I'll start a new thread way in advance next time. It's great to have some serious NH climbers to consult with here.
Thanks again,
Jan

Hi Juliana,
I WILL be heading up to Pawtuckaway in about 3 weeks and I AM interested in climbing the Upper Cliff and Lower Slab areas as my group will be only bouldering and top roping, me being the best climber in the group (which is very sad for them!)When you get the chance could you send me the name of the guide book for Pawtuckaway so I can send my NH friends out to get one. For some strange reason they don't have one here in Miami, go figure. (what's even stranger is they carry the guide books for all the 13'er and 14'ers of CO!). Thanks,, really, REALLY looking forward to any climbing I can get in.

Kahuna,
The guide book I have is excellent, but, unfortunately, they no longer make it. I believe they have a decent one that is sold at the EMS in Concord, however it is for New Hampshire in general and the price is quite steep.
I can send you the information from mine regarding the Upper Cliff and Lower Slab sometime in the next week or so if you'd like, and you can print it out and use that, but that's the best I can offer.
-Jules

ride the lightning!!! i personally have never tried it but it looks awesome. its a bit of a walk if your going in from deerfield but its in the bouldering area. another good problem that is prett close to the lower slab is outlook. its like 2 overhangs and it looks rediculously hard but its really not. you just have to think it out, its like 2 small overhangs with great jugs but huge throws. i probably didnt help much but if you know anyone there, try outlook.

oh yeah, i totally forgot about the mushroom traverse. its awesome, its a huge rock! and its low to the ground and you traverse all the way around it (hence the name mushroom TRAVERSE) it looks intimadating becasue it looks really slopy but its not bad, as long as you get the toe/leg hook. you and anyone, should defentally try it.

Hey Juliana, do you know if this guide book still exists? It looks like it's still being published...

I've actually never seen that one around, thought I suppose I haven't looked that hard. You're right; it seems that it is still being published. I'd say that if you can get your hands on a copy, go for it.
The one that I have is an all-inclusive guide to Pawtuckaway climbing, bouldering and all, that was compiled in '93 or '94. Wish they still made it!
