I left my green black diamond poles leaning against the rail at the bottom of the obs tower. If anyone sees them and can grab them. I'll pay for shipping to get them back to me. Thanks. Courtney.
Update from the source: They got off the road and camped last night. The Kilkenny trail was a blowdown nightmare and awful blisters and some foot issues forced our dirrettisima duo to stay at...
Hey all -
I recently "upgraded" my communications to an iPhone. The only loss I'm feeling at the moment is my Google Tracks App.. That thing was killer. Just wanted to see if any Apple users...
I'm on the classic route Thin Air (5.6) at Cathedral Ledge in North Conway.
these are awesome! i need to hire you to film my next adventure. ha.
Ooh.. yeah that was the section I was referring to. Along the gorge walls.. id say that's a little more than 20 feet..? maybe 100 or so the least. I've honestly haven't hiked the loop in 10...
Just so you know, they remove the boardwalk in winter. In fact I'm shocked they were still up when you went.
This ice season is off to a slow start, still need to go to higher elevations to...
Thanks for the pics! I was wondering how things are shaping up in there. Looks like another few weeks though for the river bed and the ice routes to freeze up before I can get in there and climb.
...
Ah ok. Thanks for the clarification.
Certainly.. the original question is "it" - meaning attempting the climb ice in the early season in northeast and the other "it" being the drive, the time, the...
What is YMMV?
Yes, I understand when I post stuff online then I do open myself up for others to chime in. Negative comments or differing opinions don't ruffle my feathers. Most importantly, I have never felt the...
I don't need affirmation or validation for what I do. Nor do I care what others think, honestly. I was just thinking about what I've been hearing lately and made me think about what climbing really...
Over Halloween weekend, I went into Huntington Ravine with Frodo to catch some early season ice. I had watched the weather all week, read the forecast for that weekend, looked at the webcams every...
Hey Hammy! Yeah, I think so. I drove through Crawford Notch this past weekend and I didn't notice it was closed.
Of course I didn't notice it was open either.. ;)
Most hotels in Gorham are closed in the winter, which doesn't make much sense. The only place I've stayed at in Gorham in the winter time was the Royalty Inn.
Its a shame, really.. The main...
I retained two words from reading this. Frozen and water.. and even better that one came right after the other.. :cool:
I have a droid and use mytracks.. its awesome. yeah, you can upload it to google maps. I've used it up landslide and shoestring gullies on mt webster and it picked up the gps signal and tracked...
i'm so glad i wasn't there.
I've taken a 3-day thing on Rainier with a guiding company (Alpine Ascents) in 2007 and also took a 6-day mountaineering course with them in Alaska in 2008. Both times I went by myself and didn't...
I just stay away from passing judgement on anyone, regardless.
Oh, sorry.. did I say that already? ;)
Nah, the Mountaineers looked heinuous, especially with the upper section filled with ice. We hiked off on the trail.
Cool pic, and nice job on the East Face! Its airy!
Thanks for the photo...

Here's some photos to capture the rest of our trip.
