Description Razor Crack is perhaps New Hampshire's most beginner-friendly aid climb. It climbs an undulating thin crack through corners, a roof, and a face above. The number of fixed pins and easy placements make this a great line on which to learn the rudimentaries of aiding.
On the right end of the giant roofs, locate a thin crack with some pins in it. The first pitch, and a short one at that, climbs up to some fixed webbing right before the crack splits a roof. Many stop here and lower down. If you choose, continue out the roof and up the face above.
Protection Thin stuff: stoppers, TCUs

| Evidently, someone has freed this to the first anchors. It had been one of the last great problems of the area. Does anyone have more info? |

| Jay--
You should ask Peter Kamitses about this. I know he freed something over there this past summer. |

| I recall hearing that Justin Hayes was working on freeing this awhile ago - don't know how it went though. |

| wow , i freed some of this with Karl Mallmen years ago but nowhere near the roof- maybe the first 20' or so. Also i think Jimmie's efforts at the Toothless Grin extension were never completed.
