Description
The Black Jack Boulder is the largest boulder in the area. This condominium-sized hunk of schist sits behind the Umbrella Boulder and sports one of New Hampshire's best cracks.
The Black Jack Crack (5.10d) can be clearly seen from the main trail through the boulders. Other lines, some route-length, climb up the various faces, but 9 out of 10 climbers who climb on this boulder are keen on the crack.
Getting There
Follow the main trail through the Black Jack Boulders. Find the biggest boulder. This is it.
[Hide Comment] I have always been curious does anyone know why those old bolts are on the boulder (on the face that faces Umbrella Boulder), there doesn't seem to be a possible climb anywhere near the bolts?

[Hide Comment] from what i understand there was a practice aid climb that went up there but that seems to be a strange spot for such a thing... there was also a toprope line that started as for Suicide Kings and went way right, past those bolts and up... holds have broken on that one i think...

[Hide Comment] a practice aid line.... seems odd, i have always thought someone had bolted it thinking it was possible and it wasnt but those also seem like likely possibilities.
