Quarry Cliff is a bouldering area in New Hampshire, about 0.7 miles from the town of West Brookline. It sits among a cluster of climbing spots, with The Nest and Lake Potanipo (aka Rock Ramond) just 0.1 mile away. The Prow and Roadside Attraction is also within a tenth of a mile, making this part of West Brookline a compact base for climbers. The climbing here is all bouldering, with five routes ranging from V0 to V3. Half On is the easiest, a V0 boulder problem, and Ashy Larry and Moose Maple are both V3. The routes are all listed with the boulder style, and their grades suggest they are suitable for climbers of different levels. For timing, late spring through early fall is the most comfortable stretch. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Milford run from highs around 69°F in May to about 73°F in September, with July peaking near 83°F. Hikers can pair a bouldering session with the Brookline Rail Trail, about 1.5 miles away, or the Russell Hill Loop Trail at roughly 1.8 miles. Rocky Ridge Boulders lies about 2.3 miles off.
