Description
However, if you are looking for cutting-edge WI 5+ and 6, this is not the place. Think multi-pitch Grade 3 to 3+ with rappels required to descend.
Getting There
The winter approach is almost always done via the logging road from Albany CoverEd Bridge (5-6 miles west of Conway, NH) then using the climber's path that arrives, essentially, at the base of "Perfect Wave".
Figure about 30 minutes of flat walking along the logging road Roughly 1 1/4 miles), then 10 minutes through the woods, and a last 5 minutes of steep. If you are good carrying a climbing pack with X-country / back-country skis the logging road is a very easy ski and you'll probably save some time.
See the detailed approach in the Mountain Project summer write-up: New Hampshire / Kancamangus Crags / Rainbow Slabs.
