This is an updated map of the Rumney Rocks Climbing area that is helpful in general but also does the important job of showing the area we at the Rumney Climbers Association are currently raising money to purchase and have added to the protection and management of the National Forrest Service. Please help by visiting www.climbrumney.com and donating what you can to preserve access to New Hampshire's most popular climbing area. Note the proposed new parking area and trail!
