Anyone know of any good spots in NH to practice self-arrest? Some type of snowfield steep and long enough with a safe runout to get some sliding in? Thanks!

I've got a big trip in the Adirondacks as well as a climb of Mount Rainier planned for this summer and I want a better camera than what I currently have to record it all. Here's some of what I think I'm looking for... -Hiking, climbing, mountaineering. I need something portable, easy to grab...

Perfect, I totally agree with both of you. I don't usually wear it while I'm moving, either, but nor do I wear a fleece while I'm moving. It's more of just a smaller insulating later for stops, summits and descents (when I'm not working as hard, not getting as warm and not sweating). Same as a...

I own two down jackets. One Mountain Hardwear down "sweater" that I like to wear in place of a fleece on cool to cold days, and a First Ascent puffy that I bring along for summits on the really cold days. I'm not a big fan of the fleeces I currently own (a nice one is on my "to buy" list, just...

I remember having pretty good service as low down as Nauman Tentsite and the only other place I had my phone out on the range was Washington and there was service there (in good weather, of course) so I would imagine it's spotty but you'll have your chances. Don't quote me on that and certainly...

Resurrecting the dead with this one! Had an idea about camping in Ouluska Pass (below 3,500 ft, of course). Anyone done it? It seems like the perfect staging point for doing Seward-Donaldson-Emmons (possibly in a loop including the aforementioned slide) as well as doing Seymour (also using...

I read that somewhere, too. How far up Roaring Brook? I guess were looking for fishing as close to Chimney Pond as possible. Assuming we can throw in a fourth day, fishing and checking out some of the other cool little spots is going to be our weather day plan. ...thats truly awesome. Also...

Wow! Great responses, thanks for all the help! I'm definitely getting a better idea of this... I had heard about the 5PM cutoff time to head in to Chimney Pond but I think if we leave early enough here (5 or 6 am is not unusual for us at all) we should be able to start hiking by 3 or...

My first post here, so take is easy on me... ;) Last summer a few friends and I went to New Hampshire to take on a Presidential Range Traverse and fell in love with the low treelines, alpine meadows and rocky ridges that are so much rarer in our hometown Adirondacks. We've been taking trips for...
