Description Suggest change

Great location that's secluded from the wind, doesn't really get any sun to speak of. Trollville has great moderate to desperate ice routes, a high concentration of hard classic mixed climbs and a few rock climbs. A short approach would seemingly make it popular but the hard climbs and a HUGE 2002 rockfall that destroyed the classic testpiece Manchurian, have kept people away.

"Before there was ice, there was rock".   The rock climbing is described in the Trollville/Duckshead AREA under "Bartlett/Jackson"  R Hall NH Admin.

Getting There Suggest change

Rt.16N to Jackson, High on the hill across from the covered bridge into town.

Note- Nov 2020 I updated/corrected the GPS position on the map ( it had been located in downtown of North Conway); I’m not 100% sure it’s in the exact location of the crag, but it’s a lot closer than it was! R. Hall, NH Admin.
