This is an updated map of the Rumney Rocks Climbing area that is helpful in general but also does the important job of showing the area we at the Rumney Climbers Association are currently raising money to purchase and have added to the protection and management of the National Forrest Service. Please help by visiting www.climbrumney.com and donating what you can to preserve access to New Hampshire's most popular climbing area. Note the proposed new parking area and trail!

Welcome to Rumney. Ready for some rocks climbing?

The thicker lines are the major trails. The thin lines are the minor trails.<br>
The black lines are the individual crags.<br>

A more detailed satellite image was overlaid because it shows the exposed rock better.

Just a selection of the sweet trad routes at Rumney. Of course sport climbing will always be king here, But on a busy day or if you are looking to witch things up... Here are a few ideas that are well worth the extra weight in the pack.
