New Hampshire > Pawtuckaway > Boulder Natural > Marsh Boulders

Description

Slab climbing that is Classic! Graham O adds: A classic slab climb that may be short, but involves cool holds, cool movement, and perfect rock. A must-do for anyone who likes slabs!

Start with high foot, balance up and find the rounded pocket, do a cool hand-foot match and top out on the jug.

Location

Boulder southwest of Boulder X facing the marsh.

Protection

Pad and courgae not to cheese-grate down the slab if you botch the hand-foot match

[Hide Comment] This is really an outstanding climb. Really aesthetic and it climbs beautifully. In my opinion, one of the best of its grade at Pway. Aug 15, 2013
