Off Widths of New Hampshire
|
Anyone have a list or reference to a list with OW climbs in NH? |
|
Some stuff at Cathedral: |
|
there is a nice 10b at woodchuck on the playground wall and if laybacking is about 8+ |
|
Vertigo is a sweet OW, 5.6/5.7ish and the gear is actually pretty good. |
|
Rumney has a couple of hard off widths (Walking the Devil, White Zombie), Farley has one, as does Cathedral: |
|
Pawtuckaway holds several shorter offwidths at the Upper Cliffs, mostly in the 5.7-10 range. Probably not as engaging as many of the longer/harder lines already listed, but maybe some good TR practice. |
|
Climbers Corner/Yellow Zonkers at PWay. Yellow Zonkers is unreal for a 5.8+. My question is what did you get for pro on the Half moon to make it 5.6/.7? I would like to bag that this season. The Bully felt like a hard .10 to me at Woodchuck. |
|
walking the devil 5.12a and white zombie 12d are both fun and i know you are there a lot so thats a good start... |
|
The Flare at bartlett haystack- just far ebough from the road that no one will hear you wimper |
|
Chris and lee hit most of the popular ones. John's vote I've heard great things about, but never been out to haystack. The woodchuck one is just not that hard. But, I always take 2 tries to get climbers corner, and for my body size, I find yellow zonkers at p-way impossible (yes, you can protect fine). Black crack isn't too bad. White Zombie is more of a weird chimney than OW. I also don't think .12d is right, I can most times 2 hang it and I can't even begin to climb that grade (.12a?, 11+) Of course the second pitch of recompenses crux is OW before the chimney. Second pitch of wonder wall has the most sandbagged .9 OW (think yellow zonkers, except the approach pitch is a .12) |

I'd be a bit skeptical about crack between Worlds... Kurt puked on the f/a.... |
|
I think Tim Kemple got the second. Says something... |

Got the OW bug. Just climbed far out jam today...surprisingly the rain skipped PWay. What a great position. Finally climbing all the climbs I have skipped for years. China Dragon was great as well. Can not believe I have never climbed both. Woodchuck OW was def. hard at the time for me...what is it for you Jon..4/5 moves..haha. Hope to see you out there soon. Enjoy. |

Thank you, I hope to get a big list from the postThe OW might not be so bad, other than an R rating, but the 2nd pitch after the pendulum up to the anchors is definately not 5.6/7. Its solid 9 fingers from what I recall. Also, last fall the anchors at the top of P2 were pretty poor, no hangers, and I think someone tucked a stopper in nearby to back them up. |
