Miscellaneous

The climbing area sits on the Hopkinton-Everett Flood Control Reservoir in New Hampshire, managed by the State Department of Natural Resources. It is a bouldering spot, with five routes clustered within about a tenth of a mile of one another. Lone Wolf Boulder and Elemental Boulder are the closest neighbors, and the Lone Wolf Area is just as near. The boulders are all rated on the V scale, with grades ranging from V0- to V3. Chihuahua is the easiest at V0-, and Kaizen and Lichen It are the hardest at V3. The routes are short and suited to bouldering, so plan on a day of climbing on the same rock face rather than a long hike. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from the nearby Weare weather station run from highs around 75°F in June to about 80°F in July, with lows near 55 to 60°F. Winters are cold, with January highs around 31°F. The closest trails are the Gum Tree Trail and the Lost Lake Loop, both about a mile away. For an overnight stay, Elm Brook Park Rec Area is roughly 7.5 miles off, and the Contoocook River offers fishing about 10 miles away.
