I know you've experienced this before.... "Wow, this is nothing like the last time I was here!" Well.... Can't help but get excited to go up the Flume slide Trail. Waaaay back I took my oldest daughter, 13 at the time, and my nephew and his friend both 12, on a backpacking trip. It was May and...

Pucknuts & I planned to hit both Middle & East Peaks. We've both been warned about the "Ridge" but I found West, last year, nothing to write home about, as far as steep & thick. We started a bit late, but that's not rare, as we don't mind headlamps! We headed up from 112 and right away hit the...

Haven't posted a TR in a long time BUT.....have to write this one! After a couple of days in Baxter SP a few years ago, I vowed NEVER to hike in June again!....Ever. It was Hazy, Hot & Humid and the bugs were beyond bad. I set my tent up with full Goretex, hat & gloves on. I must have lost...

Crawford Path from lot off 302 to Cog lot down parts of the Ammonoosuc Ravine Tr. Most of the trails required snowshoes excluding the north side of Eisenhower & down the "Gully" to the right of the Ammo Tr. as you descend. Best with crampons down the gully. Some areas along the way were bare...

No, this won’t even come close to the record that was just broken, time wise, and I don’t want to take even the slightest away from that journey that Mats, Jason & Ryan just had, but...................... This may be a record that may take a while to top. If someone already has this record beat...

Maybe, this is the wrong place to post this (Trail Conditions) because there was no trail. This was the first time I've done a trip that was all bushwhack, using no trail. In any case: The conditions down low were mostly dry. Some snow started to blend in as we got in further. From then, on...

Yes, It was as good as it sounds. There is nothing better after a great winter than an early Spring Bushwhack. The only problem was, the warmer conditions from last weekend. Pucknuts (Bill) & I look forward to this every year. You get to sharpen your navigation skills & have lots of laughs...

Has anyone found one? When I asked Jerry Sat. if I left my MH black hat in his car on a recent trip, he said no, But mentioned his wind instrument was amongst the missing as well. He was thinking that it was possibly on the traverse Sat. 3/7 somewhere on the Bondcliff trail. Or could have been...

Trails down low were sugar coated early but well chewed up on the way out. MicroSpikes, etc. would have worked up to the solid ice flows starting below the Log Cabin area. CRAMPONS would be the choice for the entire day. Leave the snowshoes at home. Ski pole for some, Ice axe for others above...

Well, not real sure where to begin or how to put it all down on paper, but.....here goes. I first want to thank God, for allowing me to be alive and able to do it!! Back in 2007 I was getting so close, I could taste it. However the taste was getting pretty sour as I tried to get those last 3...

Up 19 Mile Brook Trail: Snowshoes helpful after junction w/ Carter Dome Trail. Up Wildcat Ridge Trail: Not broken due to wind & overnight snow. Used snowshoes across slide. Buried with 2'+ of new snow. No crampons needed. After the slide: Picked up remnants of broken trail from the day...

Sorry for the delay in posting. (No computer up North) Trail was broken out most of the way. Except for the new snow that fell the night before, plus a little wind erasing way up. Nothing needed for first mile, but put on snowshoes at that point due to the upper level of snow collapsing from...

Trail is broken out all the way. We chose to stay on the packed trail rather than break new trail as it was just Jerry & myself. A few comments: Not just my thoughts. Jerry felt strong about it as well. Starting with the Black Pond Bushwhack. The broken trail follows a very zig-zag path that...

Planning on Owl's Head this Sat. Supposed to be a good day & it's been good and cold for crossing Lincoln Brook. If you're interested, should get to Lincoln Woods about 7:15 & hope to start by 7:30. You can post, PM, or just show up last minute. Should be good.

Hi All, This Sat. Jim L, myself & possibly a couple of others are going up the Twins from Seven Dwarfs. That is our first goal! If the conditions are good & we are up to it, we'll continue on & hit the Bonds as well. I know this would be a long day, for me anyway, but W. Bond & Bond are on my...

Hi All, Anyone want to join us for the Kinsmans on Mon., please feel free to join us. Figure on an 8:00 start at Lafayette Place.

We are heading up this Sat. Always an enjoyable time! We'll probably go up the Imp Tr. & down Nineteen Mile Brook Tr. So feel free to join us. Hey, at least this time I gave more than a 12 hour notice! :)

We are heading up to Mt. Moriah via the Stony Brook Tr. (I know it was supposed to be the Twins & Galehead. Later in the season!!) We will be meeting at the Stony Brook trailhead @ 8:30 tomorrow Sat. 12/31. So if your still undecided and want to get out tomorrow, come & join us.

I know this was asked back on 12/20, but does anyone know if the road is still open? Trying to plan for N. & S. Twin for Sat. 12/31. Also this is an open invitation to anyone interested. (I know, wrong forum) But do feel free to join us.

Not sure if this has been posted already and it's a little early to be thinking about winter gear, but........... Due to the recall of Montrail's Ice Nine & Khumbu crampons I had to replace them. I chose Petzl Vasak to replace the khumbu. Shortly after that, I read an ad in this July Climbing...
