Description
"CAUTION: This is a popular hunting spot, if you come here during hunting season make sure you are wearing bright orange and have something bright on your pads, perhaps orange duct tape or surveyor's tape. [ COMMENT from Jake Perry ]
Bouldering near the base or Rand Mountain and Moose Mountain. The area has a good variety of problems. The Moose boulders have some mega-highballs and is a bit of a bushwhack to get there so I am going to be trying to establish some sort of trail. The grades are an estimate so they may be off a bit and some problems may need some more cleaning. Also if you want me to show you the area or want to help cleaning off some problems send me a PM.

Getting There
Park at the Ellis R Hatch(the same area as Rand Mountain) area on Kings Highway in New Durham and head up the road. The map should be helpful for the fin and swamp boulders. Ill post more detailed topos soon especially of the moose boulders, its a bit of a maze out there.
The Fin boulder is located on right side of the road on the way up to the swamp boulders about a 100 yards from the parking area.
For the Swamp boulders keep walking up the road until you see a swamp on the right. There is a hole on the left side walk through and straight up about 50 feet until you see 3 large boulders. The problem "Leaf house" is on the a boulder 50 feet up the road on the left.
For the Moose boulders keep walking past the swamp and the road will split. Go right for the south boulders and left for the north boulders.
For the south boulders continue all the way to the end of the field and head towards the mountain at the end. Follow the obvious trail, which will take you to the entrance boulder on your right. If you come out bring a brush there's a lot of potential. More topos will be coming soon.
North boulders: coming soon

Can you add the GPS coordinates to the area (43.50676,-71.118114)? If that's done it will show up on the NH climbing map. Sep 1, 2011

Instead what I believe you're supposed to do is cross the dam/bridge at the end of the pond and then head up that mountain, which is on your left if you're on the road.
The Swamp Boulders were super cool though, and there's definitely some more potential there. The Fin Boulder was also awesome.
This was a really neat little area and I definitely can't wait to come back and explore more.
Now for a note of caution: When I got there there was a guy at his car in the parking lot who had been bear trapping (which consists of a box of donuts and a motion sensing camera). He showed me some of his pictures and sure enough, he had a picture of a bear on there, eating the donuts in daylight. Secondly, that guy said he'd be shooting down south of where the trail is (away from the trail). There was another guy there who had also been getting ready for hunting season. So this is a popular hunting spot, which means you better be wearing bright orange and put some blaze orange duct tape on your pads, you don't want to be mistaken for a deer or a bear.
On the plus side, the bear trapper did say that there are plenty of boulders around in Ellis Hatch. Nov 11, 2015

IIRC I think he was just baiting like that to see how many bears or if there were any bears in the area, I mean his camera got a picture of one, which was pretty cool to see even though you could only see the top of the bears head and its ears. It was also alarming 'cause then I had to be on the lookout for bears in case they caught a wiff of my PB&J haha. Nov 11, 2015
