Posted today on The RMC FB Page: Trail report as of December 8 Winter conditions are in full effect up here with lots of powder and snow drifts to play around in! Above treeline there is a layer of decently packed snow which covers the rocks and boulder fields for some truly smooth cruising...

With all good intentions, but I think you just jumped in.

Just a matter of time. Might as well get this out of the way for this Season.

Those boots on the bottom shelf look pretty bitchin!

Excellent post. Here is a report as of today from The RMC's FB page which concurs with what your saying about the underlying liquid still present. Trail report as of November 26th: A wind chill advisory is in effect on the summits until 11am Saturday due to unseasonable cold. Above treeline, a...

I agree to a point. IMO there is something to be said of the manufacturers and especially the companies that make cheap knockoffs of traction that appeal to the unseasoned user. "Microspikes" has become a buzz word like giving candy to a baby. You have just got to have some. I posted a thread...

A good story but a lousy Movie. I think your "Real snow" comment sums it up. "Hokey" is the word I would use. Unfortunately, it seems as if some producers are just out to make a buck and try to over sensationalize content to do so. If you are already a climber and you see stuff like this, it's...

Back in the late 70's when I was completing my Winter 4's rubber bottom Sorel Pac Boots were very popular for Winter travel including above tree line with crampons. So called Winter Limmers were out there also but they amounted to an insulated tongue over the summer version. I remember hiking in...

When is the last time an agency nailed a 4-5 month forecast? As the saying goes in these parts you never know what Winter is going to be like until mid April or so.

I'll try to remember that the next time I go hiking.

Aussies are extremely dedicated to their owners. They will always want you as part of their herd. It’s been ten years since mine crossed the rainbow bridge. I think of her every day.

He ought to be a lobbyist not a representative. " One New Hampshire lawmaker wants to make it legal for Granite State residents to own kangaroos. Representative Tom Mannion filed a legislative service request last month. The proposal would allow for people to own kangaroos, small-tailed...

Whatever gets you hopping.

Although cropping can work too with other minor tweaks. But don’t over do it.

Shake ‘n Bake

For what it's worth The Horn(Saddleback) and Redington are easily done in coordination with other adjacent peaks. Most who do them have the longer-term goal of completing the New England 100 Highest. The Horn is totally worth it as the ridge walk from Saddleback and the peak itself are classic...
