The Big-Swirly

New Hampshire > Merrimack Valley > Clough SP > S Side > Lone Wolf Area

Description

This is an impressively steep and proud boulder with a terrifying landing. This boulder sits on top of a pedestal boulder which allows for some fun cams and some impressive foot-cuts on a 55-degree wall. This boulder seems to have the potential for 5 or 6 possible lines and perhaps a few variations.

Getting There

This large boulder sits on top of the hill and overlooks a large cluster of boulders including The Elemental Boulder and the Lone Wolf Boulder. From the Gazebo, head left into the woods and follow the faint trail South into the forest. Walk up past Lone Wolf and hike about fifty yards up through some talus until you reach this aesthetic and inspiring boulder with some beautiful swirly mineral deposits in it.
