Does anyone know how I can link photos into a trip report?

Has anyone had any experience with or heard of the Raineer Mountaineering Inc. expeditions and seminars. I Googled climbing Mt Mckinley and their website popped up as a goto place for signing onto a Denali climb. Previous mountaineering experience with things such as crevasse rescue...

This sojourn had jinx written all over it from the start. I hoped to get 24 peaks in ideal circumstances and ended up with 15, still very pleased averaging 3peaks per day over five days. My first sign of trouble was that I might be catching a cold. That was Thursday evening in the EconoLodge...

Well the time has arrived, whether or not I am ready or whether or not the weather is ready, to drive up from CT into the Adirondacks for my first winter hiking adventure outside of the Whites. Thank God and the individual hikers for all the recent trailbreaking. The weather is looking a...

Five days of winter adventure in the DAX beginning Dec. 30th is drawing closer. Thanks to Pippen and others all my queries have been answered except one: Where is the trail head for doing the Dix-Hough-Carson-Macomb-Grace loop? I will post the five days on the Trips and Events forum. Thanks...

Does anyone know some of the basics about hiking Mt Greylock in the Berkshires? Where is the trailhead? What is the average hiking time? What are the distance and elevation change? I am planning to hike 12-19. Thank you, Beaner :)

I am thinking of ADK parking-Phelps-Table Top-Marcy-Gray-Skylight-Haystack-Basin-Saddleback-Gothics(Sawteeth, possibly)-Armstrong-UWJ-LWJ-Ausablwe Club as a two day event for Dec 31-Jan 1 What are the chances that Elk Lake-Marcy trail is open from Four Corners to Panther Gorge and then Barlett...

What is the best day hike approach to Saddleback-Basin-Haystack? Is it from Ausable club. What I really want to do is hike from Ausable Club: LWJ-UWJ-Armstrong-Gothics then continue on to Saddleback-Basin-Haystack-Marcy. I will over night some where along the way. I will either go...

Thanks to PIN PIN :) Here is a tentative schedule of 5 day hikes that would begin Friday Dec. 30th and finish on Tuesday Jan. 3rd. The days may be interchanged. There is a wrinkle i still need to iron out: figuring out where I am going to overnight new years eve. These are the 5 day...

Planning to hike the Adirondacks for the first time over NewYears. Am practically clueless as to paths of choice to Bag as many 4k's around Marcy as possible. I'm thinking 17 are doable but may be considering paths that receive liitle to know use in winter. Wondering if more experienced...

I have been logging the dates I climbed winter peaks in the space provided in the back of the AMC guidebook. Can I photocopy that and mail it to Eric in Exeter. Or to I need to request a form from the AMC first, and if so who do I request the form from? I have a form, I think, I received from...

I got an absurdly late start Saturday(11:45am) walking up the Polecat ski trail on Wildcat(1:20). Someone had broken trail up to Wildcat D from the chairlift, but only to check out the telephone tower, apparently. There were faint tracks under about 5inches of snow that started down east of...

After a failed attempt to bag Wildcat A and D on Saturday(I just got D), Sunday was a real question mark until I got to the Greeley Pond trailhead about 10:30am. I was kind of hoping the trail wasn't broken so I could head back to CT jump on the nordictrac and watch basketball from the cozy...

Is there a working woodstove in Cabot cabin, or is there only a nonworking propane stove, or a propane stove that works, maybe? Is the propane stove for cooking only or also for heating? Your answers to my previous questions and hopefully this one as well are real timesavers, thank you.

A night's stay at the Days Inn in Campton, $80, renting blades and ski boots from a local ski rental shop, $22, Potato chips, shakes, MickeyD's, gas and whatnot, $60. Snagging a parking space near the Tecumseh trailhead, fitting skiboots into my snowshoes without a hitch, round-tripping...

There are 4 3000footers on the Kilkenny ridge trail between Cabot and Waumbek. Do the 2 above 3800 qualify as part of the 100 highest in NE and does the Bulge also qualify? Thanks in advance. Sorry I'm such a dummy.

I have looked for lithium AAA batteries in several stores without success. Does anybody know of a reliable source?

When is the Last day to get in a winter hike, the 19th or the 20th? Does the hike have to be finished before the equinox to the minute as the AMC guide states? Makes sense, but when exactly is the equinox this year E.S.T.?

Thanks once again. I never would have thought of hiking Cabot from the east side. I hiked it a couple of summers ago via Unknown Pond and Kilkenny Ridge. The Horn was very nice. Can I drive in to the York Pond trailhead in winter or do I need a snowmobile?

Thanks to Hamtero, Albee, and Tim Seaver for giving me the heads-up regarding my 3rd day Franconia Brook descent from Garfield ridge and the questionable existence of the Lincoln Brook north of the Slide. Basically I tried to follow Franconia Brook and had some success for about a half mile or...
