|
Nice sign me up for as well... |

JSH, |

Did not see Swanzey, NH (Near Keene - also known as Hewes Hill) on the list. Good quality rock and ice climbs. Worth adding. Maybe some access issues. |

came across this on RockClimbing.com |

Last I knew, Fall Mountain was a chossy disaster of poorly placed bolts and crappy boulder problems. It's got something of a reputation over on newenglandbouldering in case you want to do your own research. |

Thanks |

So, has the Air Force abandoned Joe English? |
|
No Lizz, the Air Force hasn't abandoned Joe English Hill but hopefully some day they will or at least open it back up to limited climbing and such... |
|
Ice and rock together in the same book? It's a cool idea, but I don't think I've ever owned another book that does that. |

Hey Todd, |
|
I'm with Julien on Fall mtn. Just seems kinda scrappy, unless I nissed a LOT. |

I am moving to Keene/ Brattleboro next month for grad school, and am looking forward to climbing in the North East again. |

Any Beta on Spectacle Pond would be great. i grew up in groton and |

Hey Ben, I live in Hebron and believe I am able to see the cliffs from my house. The good sized cliffs are on private property. I know that friends of the property owner have climbed there but nothing more. There is also mention of a boulder by spectacle pond with some really hard problems on it that is in the new Bouldering guide. I think the cliff he's talking about is the one that you can see up on the hill on your right as you're driving down Groton Road, just about a mile outside of Hebron. |
