Description
SW face . Semi-secluded but with an easy approach from the Zealand area. About 10 routes put up I believe by Uwe Schneider in the late 80's. Good rock, many bolts.
Getting There
From Zealand, go south on the road for a couple of miles to a small parking area, cross the stream on a bike path and head SE (easy )after about 25 minutes, a steep slab appears through the trees on your left- above a clearing.
The Classics
Mountain Project's determination of some of the classic, most popular, highest rated routes for Mount Oscar:
Climb up face/slab to the first bolt, 15' up, and continue up steepening face past 4 more bolts aiming for a 15' exit crack. Clip last bolt and head for the base of the crack, crux. Gain the crack to not much relief, pull the bulge and finish up the cruiser corner to the trees or the bolted belay on Crescent direct finish. ...[more]Browse More Classics in NH
there are much more than ten routes now, most of the development has been from sykes/cunningham and crew, some really stunning lines.

The approach for this crag is very easy, I believe it has been altered since John's description from recent logging activity. Drive down the Zealand Notch road to a parking lot on the right just before a bridge. Walk down the gated logging road on the left side of the road, just before the parking lot. Look for a small rock cairn in a clearing on the left side of the dirt road. Follow this trail to were it comes to the cliff at the base of Crescent. This is a truly awesome place to crag on fun moderates. It is very user friendly with generous use of bolts. It took me a little while to get use to seeing some bolts where, from time spent at cathedral, I would not have expected them. A rudimentary guide for this area can be found here:neclimbs.com/forum.php
