Impossible Boulder is a bouldering area in Oaklands Town Forest in New Hampshire, set among a cluster of climbing and hiking spots. The name is a nod to the challenge of the boulders here, and the routes run from V0 to V10, so there is something for climbers of all levels. The closest neighbors are The Shire, a climbing area about 0.1 mile away, and the Yellow Loop hike, also about 0.1 mile off. Town Forest South and Mothership Boulder are each about 0.2 mile away, so it's easy to string together a day of climbing and walking. The boulders are all in the bouldering style, and the grade range from V0 to V10. Among the named routes are Classic Crack at V0, Bent Wheel at V2, Anything's Possible at V4, Mission Impossible at V8 and The Impossible Problem at V10. Summer is the warmest stretch for a visit. Typical averages from the nearby Epping weather station show July highs around 82°F with lows near 59°F, while September cools to highs around 73°F.
