Over Memorial Day weekend, while hiking two NH4s for the 18th time, I was able to red-line 3+ miles of trails in the WMNF (every little bit helps for my red-lining list :) ). For a Pemi Pale Ale (draft at Woodstock Station), name the two peaks, the two trails (1.0 +/- 0.1 mi and 2.0 +/- mi)...

Randy Pierce, who is blind, and his dog, The Mighty Quinn, plan to attempt the 48 NH 4s. Best wishes to them! http://unh.edu/news/campusjournal/2011/May/25csdc.cfm

Pete won a pardon last month, but now his future's appears to be in question once again. Second link provides a little more background. I could not find an original thread here, although there have been lots of threads featuring moose...

Here is a 5-min teaser for Jon Krakauer's new film about Jeff Lowe, one of America's greatest mountaineers, followed by an article with more information about Jeff. In June 1972, while I was completing the 14th ascent of the Enclosure ice couloir with Rick Mulhern, Jeff Lowe and Jim Donini...

My "heavy metals in the snow high on Mount Everest" thread went over like a lead balloon, so I will try another one. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/12/04/AR2010120400219.html Unfortunately, if you intend to hike a calendar winter Presidential traverse during a total...

Wonder if this sale will have any impact on hiker access to Wildcat D? I do not see why the sale should change anything, given that the land is leased from the USFS, but one never knows, eh? http://www.boston.com/travel/blog/2010/10/peak_resorts_pu.html?p1=Upbox_links

Ok, here we go again. On Tuesday, October 12th, I red-lined 10.0 miles of trails to bag a NH4 to complete my 17th round. Hint 1: the 10.0 miles included and out-and-back of a 1.1 trail segment that was not necessary to gain the summit. Hint 2: I hiked an additional 4.7 miles that were...

http://www.denverpost.com/news/ci_16283929?_requestid=8068005 Here is a summary for numerous earlier posts on VftT from the past climbing season.

"Kilian Jornet, a Spanish mountain climber and endurance athlete, set a new record for the fastest climb of Mt. Kilimanjaro earlier this week, making his way from the base to summit, and back again, in just 7 hours and 14 minutes. The previous record for the climb was held by Tanzanian Simon...

Led 31 glacial geology professionals and students to Chimney Pond via the Chimney Pond Trail on Friday. Trail was running with water most of the way and submerged up to knee deep in many places. We had planned to hike up the North Basin Trail from the junction with the CPT just above Lower Basin...

Not sure if General Backcountry is where this item belongs, if it belongs at all on VftT. But, Dan "Skyscraper Man" Goodwin has always been one of my favorite anti-heroes. Good to see that he is still plying his trade after all of these years. Grew up in Kennebunkport, Maine, to boot...

I could not find a previous posting, and not sure if this is the best section in which to report this achievement on VftT. But, the next time that you stop by the Mountain Wanderer Books and Maps shop in Lincoln, NH, congratulate the proprietor Steve Smith for finishing the 1460+ miles in the...

Some way wonder why the Guides leave the Lower Saddle at 4 am to get clients off the summit well before 11 am. http://www.alpinist.com/doc/web10x/newswire-teton-lightning
