I’m doing a photo-essay on small stone churches. I know of two, one on the corner of route 3 and route 302 in Twin Mountain and the other just past the Mountain Washington Hotel. If you know of others would you mind posting. Thanks.

I’m waiting to get my new replacement pair of Lightning Ascents (second replacement pair) and will use them sparingly given their track record with breakage, so I’m looking for a different shoe as my main workhorse for climbing. Has anyone used the Evo Ascents? Are they subject to the same...

Does anyone know the snow cover conditions on the Zealand Road? I'm doing a two night trip on the weekend of the 14th and want to haul in my supplies with my ski pulk. If it is dirt, how far up does it go?

What is your energy drink or substance of choice?

Quick question: does anyone have compass bearing for the Brutus Bushwhack heading down. A quick look at the maps it seems to be around 220. I’ve done it a few time, yet always with someone else. Thanks
