starts just left of old route.start just left of the small roof about 3 feet off the ground reading for a nice fist sized pod. then climb the corner using pockets and horizontals placing solid gear the whole way. then climb the face straight up to the pine tree. 

  there is also a variation that is the direct start to the right up a small flaring left facing flake(5.7).

Stick Clip the eye bolt on the right side of the wall. Make hard moves out of the alcove. Clip the third bolt on the traverse and continue up the left finish to the chain anchor.

Start as for Cave Traverse but follow the seam system around the corner instead of continuing up Cave Direct. Perform a full value mantle to establish on the slabby left side of the boulder. 

Start sitting on slopers and pull into the slot. Make your way over the roof to a exposed mantle. Make sure you clean the top off first or you will understand the route name more!

To the right of Two Cracks V0 is a good vertical rail on the face that leads up to the right of the cracks. Sit start on the rail and stand up into the cracks.

A left leaning 4" crack. A few big pieces can protect the climb. Finish at trees.

Climb easy terrain past horizontals to a ledge.  Move left to a smaller foot-ledge, then up hidden but good hands, and finish up the top of the prow-like feature.  Belay or top-rope off the tree.  Running a cord/rope with a loop for protection on the last move makes this G-rated.

Start at the crack on the left side and traverse the rail right past 3 bolts until the rail ends. Make a hard big move up to a hidden crimp to a large horizontal. Move up right past 2 bolts and a pin to the top.

Start at the crack and move right along the rail to the first bolt. Climb straight up the face to another bolt with a optional gear placement in the hirizontal. Continue to tree above.

Climb up the mossy face in the amphitheatre area. Climb the big jugs and horizontals to the top.

Sit start the crux is getting off the ground.Climb the crack.

This one is a little height dependant and hard to grade. Start sitting on the rock platform and pull on with the undercling and launch for the lip! Funner than it seems. Don't fall off the rock! 

There is no definite crux, its like climbing steps. 

Start at the obvious heart shaped hold. Climb up past old bolt holes on a faint dyke to the top.

Make crux moves off the ground past the first bolt, then climb fun moves up to a second slabby crux around the second bolt.  

  Top out and belay from a tree, this route would be nice with a bolted anchor to eliminate the rope drag.

Trad up a faint dike to a ledge. Continue up the flake and face to the trees above.

Follow up cleaned rock,then slightly left to a pine just below the top of the cliff. There is a tree to belay from just back from the cliff.

the grade is all dependent on hieght and being 5'8'' it runs about v5/v6 while for taller people in may be easier and dip down into V4. 

  start on a nice jug down low and make a move to the horizontal crack  where it starts to become slightly overhanging and work you feet up. then Dyno for the sloping lip. best place to land is on the sloping horn. then if you can hold on/ stick the dyno top out on eiser grounds.

About 10' right of Dike Steps is a cleaned section of horizontals leading between 2 small trees about halfway up, the finish is in a blocky section with 2 bolts- fun top out!

Just around the corner follow another left leaning crack until it ends. Step right into a small crack and finish up the crux to trees.

Climb the groove to the end, tree on the left. Move slightly left, up then back slightly right,several places for protection. Top out is spicy if you don't grab the root! Can top rope this from 2 ring tree  anchor

Start sitting on a sloper with left hand and a 2 finger shallow dish with the right. Figure out a way to pull off the ground and reach the crimp over the lip. 

Climb the arete to the top staying to the left side

Stand start with hands on a flake then traverse right over a smaller boulder.Steming on the smaller boulder makes it easier.

Climb the only crack on the face. Top out up a gully next to a big block.

Walk up the trail from the parking lot until the trail takes a sharp left at the base of the boulders. Walk right in the opposite direction of the trail for 150' to a pointed boulder. start on two small crimps with a good left foot of the arching rail. a one move wonder sticking the next crimp. top out at the point.

Near the top it a push to get to a crimp but its big

the same all the way to the top.more slab climbing then anything.

Ascend the ramp & horizontals to the top of the cliff, where you'll find nice jugs for handholds.  Find your feet, and top out.

 This climb is named in honor of the one & only Electric Wrangler, who cut her teeth at Rines with the OSP. May the legend inspire generations of future new climbers & wearers of the Seattle Sombrero.

5.7 VARIATION: Rhinestone: Look for a small pocket to the right of the ramp.  Climb up, use the 2 pockets between the horizontals as feet, and join The Electric Rodeo.

Start low on a sloping shelf with a good left foot. Pull on and figure out how to move to the right and top out.

on the approach trail there is a large boulder. Climb the center of the boulder to a large pocket and top out. Sit starts make it harder.

K1-slab to crack-5.3 K2-blocks to a corner-5.4 K3-slabby blocks-5.4 K4-lie-back,cracks and edge to top-5.8 K5-horizontals to a crack behind oak tree-5.8

 [Note: R Hall added the photos of K1 - K 5  and their captions on 7/28/19 at the e-mail request of J. Nupp. ]

Climb the big obvious dyke up the wall and pick 1 of the 3 finishes. All vary a bit from 5.7 and protect different as well. Use your head and pick one.

Star at the right tree then climb to the crack and traverse left to a tree then back right

The middle route of the three left leaning cracks. Follow the line to the top.

Ascends easy terrain past horizontals past the ledge to a left-facing, ear-like feature. Find the top, then finish up the center of the bow-like feature.Named as it was cleaned and climbed before & after the bass spawning season in NH

Use the flakes for feet,then get your feet as high as you can....then mantle

Sit start in the small cave area just left of a tree. Pull on the main crimp rail in the back to start. Move up on crimps and a big hold over the lip to the top.

Walk left along the base of the cliff until you come to the large obvious boulder. Climb the clean face with bigger holds up the tallest part of the boulder. Walk off the fin/ramp to ground.

Sit start ,Pull on little crimp and then mantle to the top

Start on the far right side of the boulder. A series of big hands and heel hooks will bring you into the Cave Direct route. The crux is getting into the Cave Direct. Rocks at the base make it hard to get a pad in there without being in the way. Make a hard throw up to the hold over the lip and finish to top.

A discontinous crack up the ramp in the corner. crack gets bigger at the top.

Start sitting for Just Visiting with a left hand side pull and right hand in a sloping crimp slot.

Climb up some easy moves to a few awkward and fun moves around the lone bolt. Once passed the single bolt climb up easy ground to the anchor.  

  The climbing is really enjoyable and a quality route. Having the anchor is convenient, a few more routes in the area could benefit from a fixed anchor.

At the base of the highball look right. A smaller boulder with an overhang is the climb. Start on crimps under the overhang. slap up left to the sloping lip. work right and move to a shelf. top out.

Just to the left of the high ball is a cleaned off arete. Climb the arete on good holds to the top.

The trail comes to the base of this climb. Climb the dyke past an bolt. Finish to trees.

Start direct under the first bolt of the traverse. Make a hard move to gain the rail. Traverse right past 2 bolts and make a hard move up when the rail ends to a horizontal. Continue straight up past an eyebolt to a chain anchor.

Start squatting in two sloper/crimp pods with less that desirable feet. Cross right hand through to a big hold, then rearrange your feet and toss left hand to a hand slot above and top out on jugs.

Rines Hill is located in Alton, NH. The cliff is mostly trad and has a few overhanging sport routes. The cliff is about 40 feet at the max. This is a great area for moderate crack lines. All the routes can be toproped from trees above. Lots of boulders in the area.
