Hi everyone, I just wanted to post that I lost a small blue bag with some extra batteries and camera accessories. There were 3 extra go pro batteries and a memory card, which I am particularly interested in having returned, if found. If anyone happened to pick it up, and sees this post, please...

This past weekend my brother and I did the 5 VT 4000 footers in a weekend. What fun it was to do this in a weekend. We completed the task doing two hikes Saturday, and two hikes Sunday, going North to South. The two short hikes first, two longer hikes second. The driving directions were most...

On Saturday, August 18th, I completed a one-day extended Pemi Loop, including twelve of the 4000 footers. The morning started out great, with moving clouds over the Franconia Ridge, at times revealing a beautiful undercast. I started this endeavor leaving the Lincoln Woods lot at 2:30am. My goal...

This year, on February 1st, I entered a lottery application for a permit to hike Mt. Whitney. I was successful with my first choice, and four months later on June 19th, me and my brother reached Mt. Whitney, at 14,505 ft. I wanted to share some of my favorite photos with you from this trip. It...

On Sunday April 1st I finished my second round on Carter Dome. I took a unique approach, since it took an 8-peak weekend to get it done. The Wildcat Ridge Trail on the way up was mostly free of snow. I bare booted past Wildcat D. 19 Mile Brook Trail and Carter Dome Trail were mostly snow free...

Date of hike: 3/11/12 Trail Conditions: Livermore Trail well groomed from Tripoli Road to until it veers left from the groomed system. After that, it was packed out and bare-bootable to the North Slide. The slide had a few inches of soft snow above a hard pack with maybe 3 very small patches of...

Despite consistent winds of 50mph, blowing snow, and a wind chill around -30, I had 120 mile views all day long as I took on the Presidential Traverse, which is something I had been thinking about since the holidays. The trail conditions couldn't have been better. I carried snowshoes, crampons...

On Monday, it was a perfect weather day for my next challenge, which was to summit Mt. Washington by going up Tuckerman Ravine Trail...of some sort. It was a difficult and beautifully intense challenge, and one that certainly met my expectations perfectly. I love this rugged view on the...

Last year for New Year's Eve I stood on top of Mt. Monadnock, knowing I was about to embark on a year-long journey. This New Year's, I capped the year with a winter ascent of Mt. Washington. The Tuckerman Ravine Trail required light traction up to the summer Lion Head Trail. The winter route is...

What an incredible trip my brother and I ebmarked on the day after Christmas.

(Oops Saturday Dec 3rd not 5th) Since the Sawyer River Road is closed, my brother came up with the idea that we could mountain bike in to the Signal Ridge Trail on our way to Carrigain on Saturday. This turned out to be a lot of fun. We started up the road, slowly, as it was tougher on the way...
