In case this hasn't been posted here already - some amazing aerial footage from the Himalayas:

Yesterday while descending the Long Trail South from Camel's Hump on a running loop I do frequently ( up Burrows, across LT South, then Forest City to close the loop), I did a little unplanned dance while stepping down a rounded boulder at the top of a steep pitch - the culprit being a patch of...

Wednesday evening, while I was doing some night photography on the summit of Camels Hump, a large passenger jet on it's landing approach to Burlington suddenly appeared and swooped by the summit, where I was already standing taking long exposures - there were waves of fog zooming over the...

Super light winds, comfortable temps, and clear skies were an invitation to spend the wee hours of this morning on Mount Madison's rocky slopes, watching the skies change from a starry night into a morning of beautiful fair weather clouds. I took the good old Valley Way, which, be warned, still...

Last Saturday on the Crawford Path, with a descent down the Ammo: Direct link for HD version

On March 9th, In 23 hours and 7 minutes, Mr. Adam Wilcox crossed the entire White Mountain Hut System, starting at Carter Notch Hut and finishing at Lonesome Lake. An amazing, historic, athletic feat which has been finally achieved. - Guy Waterman, "Wilderness Ethics" Sorry, Mr. Waterman...

Like a handful of other hopefuls, I hit the Presidential Range again last Tuesday after seeing that the forecast called for an "in and out of the clouds" kind of day. Or at least that was the forecast from the Rockpile.(Interestingly, the Eye On The Sky forecast called for the Presi Range to be...

...and the birds were flocking together. You couldn't swing an Excel spreadsheet without hitting some grinning peakbagger, I say. It was great to meet and see so many people from VFTT in the Presidential Range on Friday, a superb day to really relish the time above treeline, the sunshine...

Twas a magnificent afternoon on the ridge. There aren't many other times that I can remember where sleeping an extra 3 hours in the car at the trailhead worked out quite so well.

Just noticed this sign stapled to a tree on at the base of the Falling Waters Trail. Can't say I remember seeing this one before - is this part of the new campaign (to get people hiking in Maine and VT)? Nice job on reversing the colors, so that the "YOU WILL PAY THE COSTS" text will flash...

A great video by Snow Ranger Jeff Lane, taken yesterday in Tucks, explaining how he thinks the coming rain will affect the snowpack ( hat tip to Ed Parsons on FB ):

The Blizzard Survival Bag. A good thing to have in the bottom of your pack - it's only 14 ounces and the size of a .....stack of Ipads? It's the size of a VHS tape - look it up if you don't know what it is. ;) Who knows, if you spend an unplanned night out in one, you might get a cookie from...

Last week's romp up the Burrows Trail was so much fun that I had my son Isaac take the day off from school today so that he could give it a whirl. As things like this go, we got a very late start due to multiple last minute gear upgrades for his growing frame, so we didn't actually start walking...

Twas a gorgeous afternoon to zip up the Burrows Trail on Camels Hump. First - hats off to the spot-on forecast from the Weather Wizards at the Fairbanks Museum in St. J. Their "Eye On The Sky" forecast is, I think, the best place to get a good overview of the mountain forecast for NY,VT,and NH...

I stumbled across this product by Stubai, a "universal" anti-stick material that can be adapted to any crampon - something that might also have applications in hot-rodding snowshoe crampons, etc. I am going to order a set to see if I can make something better than the skimpy ones that are...

As you may well be aware: July 11 was a magnificent day in the mountains, probably just about anywhere in the Northeast. Brilliant blue skies and puffy clouds floating by. Electric green colors of all shades glowing on headwalls and in the valleys. Sunny conditions, but not too hot, not too...

Not much to say about the Falling Waters/ Bridal Path Loop that hasn't already been said, but I do have a few pictures to share from a photo project related to that loop ( from July 2). This is one of my favorite loops for running, photography, and just being above treeline - particularly later...

Another bout of Prezzy Fever struck suddenly yesterday, at approximately 12:30 VT time. Hoping to ward off the worst of the symptoms, I rushed to Crawford Notch, where a traverse of sorts was applied to the affected area starting @ 2:30 pm. Improvement was noted upon elevation gain and scenery...
