Climbing Near Nashua, New Hampshire

Large single glacial erratic boulder with decent quality of rock. Perfect for a lunch break or after work session. Short approach (under 5min) and somewhat shady. If you are NOT local to the area it's probably not worth the time or journey.. But if you do go please be careful as under the main roof there is a LOT of broken glass. If you go I'd love some help and critique with the grading as I am not used to setting the grades, just climbing them. Ha. Off Daniel Webster Hwy in Merrimack NH, turn on to Manchester St, then right onto Al Paul Ln. Parking/ Entrance is on a dirt road on the left just before Fish & Game. Walk down dirt road and the rock will be on your left.

This is an old quarry. The tallest face is about 14 feet, slightly overhanging (although the photo makes it look slabby). It's shady with a steep base that would make crash pads impractical. I haven't climbed it yet and don't know if anyone else has. It doesn't look like something you'd travel for, but it might something for locals to try. It's 1/4 mile south of the Tyngsboro Bridge on Middlesex Rd. It's the first hill after some stores on the right. There's a dirt parking area just before the bend in the road that's right at the base of the hill.

Lots of great problems on this boulder. We scrubbed up a few lines and there is definitely potential for more. From the parking area off of rocky pond rd, hike the rocky ridge trail. You will pass a larger cliff on your left with a cool cave in the center of it. Look off to your right and you will see a boulder that sits about 20 feet off the trail with an obvious overhang and nice arete.
