If a climber weighs X, then the belayer needs to counter that weight with X (minus friction). Both loads are pulling down on the anchor. If the belayer weighs significantly less than the climber,...

In NH, they also must notify a peace officer as soon as is reasonably possible. Then, they can either have it removed, or have the peace officer arrange the removal. This requires that the car be...

Assuming they knew about the fee and opted to flaunt it, it's hard to feel bad.

There must be someone who tagged Wildcat (A) from Carter Notch, and E from Pinkham Notch, and never visited B, C, or D.

Of course, all this means is that lists change, and if you finished the...

And anyone who was launching a probe to Neptune would have a different perspective, since Voyager II was launched in 1977, when there were 46 on the list. :)

Haha - you beat me to it!

Appeals to tradition alone are fallacious arguments. Arguing that traditions are important for the sake of being a tradition is an appeal to emotion (another fallacy)....

Oh look, another height supremacist reveals themselves. :)

How about we compromise and say it's only a 4k in winter? :)

It's a big - but fun - loop to do the Osceolas from Livermove Depot. I'd recommend counter-clockwise so you're ascending the steeper parts. You'll get a lot of solitude. :)

Very exciting!

Hahaha, I see what you did there.

Interesting - I've never encountered a group of hunting dogs (but have seen lots of signs prohibiting them). I'd be curious about the take other bear dog hunters have on this incident.

Did you read the second link JoshandBaron shared?

Yikes! Thanks for sharing - that is quite an ordeal.

They described it as an attack, but were there any physical injuries?

I agree that it can't be forced. I envisioned this kind of stuff being successful when it's brought up by tour groups and other companies that provide adventure and trips. Kind of like the AMC does...

Maybe NASA? ;)

Imagine a scatter plot, with the X axis being people who know the right thing to do (less knowledgeable on the left, more on the right). The Y axis being people who want to do the right thing (higher...

I recall some old abutments, so a bridge was probably there at some point. Or maybe we are both crazy? :)

I've done that road-walk (looping Cabot via Mill Brook from the East). As road walks go it's fairly pleasant, like doing Livermore Road or Tunnel Brook. Maybe more people will get to checkout The...

The foliage held up better than expected in the Tamworth area from the big storm, but it's mostly yellows and browns, with some pockets of red and/or orange.

Yeah, I wonder how many miles one can expect from a pair. Obviously a lot of variability. My All Flex's probably have 100-150 and are doing fine. For what I paid, it's down to about a dollar a mile.

It's close to/just after peak around Tamworth right now (500'). Breezy right now with lots of leaves coming down - quite beautiful!

This still assumes that by the time they committed to descending that they had a working phone and the ability to use it. What kind of phone did they have? What were they told by the 911 operator?...

I agree that they should have if they could, but how are you certain that they *could*? I'm not ruling out them doing something inconsiderate - but I'm not certain of it based on what I've read. We...
