Start with good feet in the pit and matched on a good crimp rail. Move up to the crimps above your head and set up for the crux, a long move to a blind hold on the angling rail above. Match the rail and surf it to the jugs at the lip.

Start crouching/sitting with the left hand on a small crimp on the left arete at around 4 feet and the right hand on an obvious crimp/sidepull at the same level, located about 4-5 feet right of the arete. The left hand starting hold is located a foot or so down from an obvious little bump on the arete. (See the photo of the starting holds below. The bump is the first chalked hold up from the starting left hand.) Make a hard first move to gain the small bump and then continue through a series of powerful compression moves to a crimp/edge rail at around 11 feet. From here, move left onto the slab and follow a line of good holds that angles left to reach the top of the boulder. Once established on the slab, the finishing moves are fairly easy but quite highball, topping out somewhere in the 20-25 foot range. A hard and sustained power endurance line that will likely test your fitness.

 A brilliant and highly aesthetic line on flawless rock. Many repeaters have called this one of the best climbs in NH.

 This was formerly known as 'The Alchemist Project'.

High quality moves with an awkward starting position. 

  Sit start with left hand on a good edge and right hand on a good knob with you feet awkwardly behind the rock you are sitting on. Make a big move up and right to an edge. Work your feet around and come left hand into a good gaston followed by a couple balance moves on crimp to a jug at the top.

Start on undercling and follow flake up to side pull/pinch at base of roof.  Slap up roof and don’t blow the mantle.  Decent holds on the slab. 

Sit start with left hand on a cool pinched right hand on a good sidepull. Move left hand up to a big gaston and right into a pocket undercling. Work you feet around and crux left hand up to a good hold, then top out.

Starting on nice holds down low, moving up and right following the fingercrack/flake up to a tiny roof with an obvious hold under it that isn't as good as it looks. Choose whether to top out right onto slopers (tougher) or left with nice jugs.

Sit start the same as 'Lord of War' on the big undercling and right facing sidepull and make the crux move up into the crack. Once in the crack traverse it right to the end of the boulder and topout.

Start start on a big undercling with your right hand and a big right facing side pull with your left, now make crux move(s) up to the seam above. Establish yourself in the seam and move up to a cool hold below the lip, then topout straight up with a hidden jug over the lip. 

  For tall climbers the crux will feel a bit easier than the grade and it will feel harder for short climbers.

The largest boulder in the Beede Falls area. Home to the absolute classic Forgetting Last So Long, v9, and numerous other good lines!
