Right Side

New Hampshire > Merrimack Valley > Rock Rimmon

Description

The most consistently steep section of the cliff some routes are lacking the typical Rimmon ledges allowing for more sustained climbing and a little more exposure.... Perhaps my favorite moderate lead at Rimmon is a 5.6 that goes right up the middle of this area.... There was once a few hard bolted routes here.... The old, rusty chains seem to be gone, as for the bolts I've not checked.... I never heard anything great about these hard routes, but the easier stuff is great....

Most routes here start up a pretty easy section for the first 30-40 feet then stay steep for another 40+ feet....

Getting There

From the road, head up the sandy trail to the base of the cliff....

[Hide Comment] Route about 15 ' to the right of the angel corner is Mantler, relatively new bolts (+10-15 yrs) and it's a great one ! Stiff 5.9 and as the name in ply's mantle moves on a steep face!
Try it you'll like it ! (Tope ropes easy of course, as all Rimmon Routes do !) Nov 11, 2016
