RI to Maine, Rt. 95 to 201, offshoot for climbing
|
Hi All, |
|
Closest/best detour will be North Conway area, it'll be around 2 hrs total out of your way though. Don't know of any other climbing that way and east of NH. |
|
Try this mountainproject.com/v/pawtu… |
|
Quincy Quarry a decent spot on 95 south of Boston... And is probably the best on your way. If you boulder consider stopping by Hammond Pond. I would say Pawtakawy is your best bet though, as it actually has some decent climbing. |
|
If you like steep 5.12, Shagg Crag isn't too far off your route. Adds about an hour of drive time, plus hike, etc. |
|
Shagg hike time 30 min. Shagg experience... PRICELESS. |
|
Shagg Crag have perma-draws and is really sewn up? That's what I'm getting from the pictures, maybe that will be our stop? |

I have never seen china white granite like that place has in the NE. Its epic, and def hike to the top of the mnt. And good luck on the Kennebeck. Amazingly fun river and well worth the trip up there! |

As of last season, Great Escape and several other trade routes (Ginseng, Shagg It?, and more) had permadraws. I haven't been up yet this fall, but I'd be surprised if they aren't still there. |

Longstack precipice would be a great area to go to. It's located in the new Durham link on the New Hampshire page. Many 1-2 pitch routes, all day sun, beautiful setting, short approach and great sunsets have made it a destination for climbers from southern NH and MA. It's probably 45 minutes out of your way, each way. Guidebooks may still be available in Wolfeboro at a store called Stay Tuned (another 5-10mins from cliff) otherwise bring your smartphone or such. |
