Intro Boulder is a bouldering area in New Hampshire, about a mile from the town of Jady Hill. It sits among a cluster of climbing spots, with Mid Point Boulders and Quarryman Boulder each about 0.1 mile away, and Little Cthulhu Boulder at the same distance. The Green Loop hike is 0.2 mile off, so it pairs easily with a bouldering session. The climbing here is all bouldering, with five routes ranging from V0 to V4. The easiest is Sail Away at V0, and the hardest is Passing Thoughts at V4. Skin Doctor is V2, and The Sword is V3. The routes are short and fit a day of bouldering with other nearby spots. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from the Epping weather station, about 7 miles away, show July highs around 82°F with lows near 59°F, while winter highs stay in the 30s. The area also draws mountain bikers, with Blue Green and the Yellow Loop both within a quarter mile. Paddlers can reach the Squamscott River about 1.2 miles away.
