Blair Woods is a bouldering area within Pawtuckaway State Park in New Hampshire, managed by the State Department of Natural Resources. It sits among a cluster of climbing spots, with Wetworks Area, Dynamics Boulder and Meat and Potatoes Boulder all about 0.1 mile away. The climbing here is all bouldering, with seven routes spread across the area. Grades run from V1-2 up to V8, so there is something for climbers of all levels. Ironhide and Tragic Visions are the hardest, both rated V7-8, while Folded Ducks is the easiest at V1-2. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Epping show July highs around 82°F with lows near 59°F, and September still reaches about 73°F. The Blair Loop Trail and Oak Trail are both about 0.2 mile away, and the Fundy Trail is about 1.2 miles off.
