Access

Use the Round Pond side and follow the cliff guide past the Lower Slabs. Use the named-sector guide to locate Upper Cliff; avoid unofficial shortcuts and check signs at the final approach.

Parking

NH State Parks lists a $5 adult day-use fee and limited parking; reserve a space where offered. Climbing sectors use different trailheads, so check the guide before choosing a lot.

Permits & access rules

Stay on permitted park trails, keep road and boat-launch access clear, and observe any posted day-use or parking restrictions. Confirm current notices at the site before climbing.

Safety

Pawtuckaway granite includes short cliffs and boulders. Inspect landings, fixed hardware and top-rope anchors; older bolts may be unreliable.
