Talus Quarry is a bouldering area in New Hampshire, about 1.5 miles from the town of North Brookline. It sits among a cluster of climbing spots, with Old Hutchinton Hill Quarry less than a mile away and Pond Boulders and Palmer Bartell Forest within about a mile. The quarry's five boulder problems range from V0- to V5, so it works for climbers of all levels. The most comfortable months for a visit are late spring through early fall. Typical averages from the nearby Milford weather station show June highs around 78°F and September highs around 73°F, with July the warmest at about 83°F. The routes here are all boulders, and the grade range from V0- to V5. Scabulous is the easiest at V0-, and Cobble Maker is the hardest at V5. The closest neighbors are Old Hutchinton Hill Quarry and Pond Boulders, both within a mile, and the Brookline Rail Trail is about 1.1 miles away for a walk off the rock.
