Most people say that NH lacks good crack climbing- this is the exception. A fine hand crack in an overhanging corner. Nice rock. 

I'd like to add:

  I don't know who these haters are that say NH doesn't have good crack climbs but they are sorely mistaken. That being said, Yes, this is probably the finest crack climb in NH.  

  Expect perfect jams for most hand sizes all the way with the exception of a couple of Wide openings where you can choose your solution. It's the consistently steep pitch that will wear you down more than any particularly hard moves. There are a number of decent footholds out to the sides of the crack which give you a weapon to fight against the pump as you battle this beautiful beast. -Lee

Crack In The Woods

Pumping Station

Closet Full of Klonopin

A tremendous trad route among the sport climbs. Takes a diagonaling line across a very steep wall. Tom worked really hard doing this one with all gear going in on the lead as usual. Start on the right side of the wall at a tiny corner. mMve up to the hand traverse across the wall and a slight stance. Step left to a stupendous steep hand and fist crack in a corner.

Goes straight up towards the hand crack on Pumping Station, but lowers off before.  Pretty sure this route was reestablished a few years ago.

Shaded and sometimes buggy, this area has one of the state's best 5.10 cracks. Crack in the Woods should be on every 5.10 climber's tick list. At one time, there were sport routes on this cliff, but in a fit of ethics, they were chopped. Many have talked of reinstalling these routes, but as of yet, the chopper has gotten the last word.
