The White Mountains of northern New Hampshire, the highest mountain range in New England, offer some of the best climbing adventures in the eastern United States. Numerous cliffs, composed of ancient granite and metamorphic rock, scatter across the region. Cathedral Ledge and Whitehorse Ledge, pasted on the mountainside west of North Conway, yield excellent crack and face routes on perfect granite. Farther afield are the sweeping slabs of Mount Willard, the intimate crags along the Kancamagus River, Cannon Cliff looming over Franconia Notch, and the hard sport routes at Rumney. For climbing information consult the comprehensive guide Rock Climbing New England.
