Hi! I have been indoor bouldering for 3 years; and just had my first encounter outdoor bouldering at Pawtuckaway and I loved it. I could do a couple V0/V1 routes (indoors I'm at V3-V5). Are there any instruction groups/classes for outdoor boulders at Pawtuckaway or anywhere in the NH area?

Hi Julie,
Although I do not have an answer to your specific question, I'll be heading to Pawtuckaway from Canada to join a family vacation at the beach (I'll be sneaking out to go bouldering...as I do not enjoy sitting still at a beach...). As Ill be solo, you can always join and I could try and share some of my knowledge as well as a spotter. Some time July 17-23 although the weekend will probably reserved to spend time with family.
Alternatively, your local gym could be a great resource if you have not already asked. I know mine offers some introductory classes to outdoor bouldering and provide pads and such.
I’ve never bouldered at Pawtucks but done a ton of the roped climbs there. The grades are subjective at best. I’ve led 5.8+ on trad there but struggled with TR a 5.9. Just keep at it ! It’s a great place when the bugs aren’t sucking your blood dry
