Parallel Universe


Description 

Monsters is known for its hard steep routes with a steep nature, and did I mention its steepness.... However, there are some fun but slightly less-classic, less-steep 11s and 12s on the left hand side of the crag.....

This is a great place to climb hard on cold winter days.... The southern exposure can make the crag nice and warm as long as the sun is out.... It also is nice on a summer morning, since it stays in the shade for a while.... The only real issue here is the seepage which can shut down many routes in the spring....

Classics include Heaven (5.11a), Journey to a Mushroom Planet (5.13a), and Parallel Universe (5.14a) and a host of other awesome hard routes....

Kick ass and have fun....


Getting There 

Head up the trail at pole #37 off of Buffalo Rd.
Soon, when the trail splits, you will break right scrambling over a good-sized, fallen tree continue on this trail past small cliffs on your left until you get to the cliff made obvious by its 45 degree overhangs on its right hand side....

Journey to a Mushroom Planet 5.13a  New Hampshire : Rumney : Monsters from the Id
One of the best "sport" routes I've ever touched...a truly classic climb on a system of cracks and features out a relentlessly steep wall and a roof....Plagued by wetness, this route would see many more ascents if it dried out more often.... When it does dry, it is a must climb for anyone who can keep up with this powerful, interesting route that requires some crazy beta.... From the double knee-bar to a foot-cam over your head and much more this...[more]

The "moderate routes" on the left end of Monsters... Don't go looking for classics here, but you can warm up on them for sure...

Monsters, far right routes... I think Triskaidekaphobia is an awesome name for a 5.13...
