    Default New Hampshire - Five Miles at a Time

    I'm starting to chip away at New Hampshire So far, in keeping with my "Five Miles at a Time" theme (and constraint), I've accomplished from the VT border to Lyme Dorchester Rd/Smarts Mtn Trailhead. My next two planned are relatively flat hikes: Rt25C - Rt25A SOBO, and High St - Rt25 Glencliff SOBO. I'm comfortable with the idea I can manage these two small/easy-looking hikes.

    What I'm not sure about is the space between these two. Rt25C - Rt25 is short enough, but appears to have a significant challenge in either direction. My question is: What is that severe elevation change near mile 1792? Is it a rock scramble? A ladder? Should it be more safely tackled NOBO or SOBO?

    I would appreciate input from anyone experienced in this specific climb/descent. My knees are good, but my height and reach and weak grip can make certain rock scrambles safer in one direction than another.

    Thanks.
