I am always amazed that people who hike to be out in nature, really don’t want to step in it. They cause trail widening and erosion along areas that are not designed to tolerate the traffic. That’s the whole purpose about hiking in the wild and wearing appropriate footwear. If they don’t want to...

I know of several people who have hiked and skied which you said. I have never been, but I’m told it’s a very lovely area.

Both. Possibly the writer assumed there are only steam engines?

I get annoyed that people don’t learn from its history. We hiked to the summit from Pinkham one fine August day. The summit was obscured in clouds. The wind was 50mph on Crawford Path; it gusted to 69 at the summit. It was sleeting. WC in the 30s. Return to Pinkham? 85 degrees, hot and sunny...

Just the idea of the hotel, I know there are inflamed emotions both sides of the issue so I am NOT going to debate. IMO, no hotel please.

Yes it has. Looking up at my shelf at a book written by a fellow whose Sherpa got sick and he left the Col to summit and return, alone.

Added to it, I would guess. Just one of several pieces of equipment he might have reconsidered not leaving behind. As pointed out before, the dilemma of traveling light and fast versus heavy/slower.

We had yellow nylon boundary ropes as well, with signage. You just can’t fix stupid.

We had them posted on the topmost lift towers on every peak. A wry reminder that some chose to ignore.

I am reminded of Kate with every one of these tragedies. We know that Kate was training for Everest and likely persisted b/c such weather is the norm above 25K. We also know that Emily’s goal was to accomplish the remaining mountains by her birthday. As for this gentleman, this was just probably...

Nowhere near the Whites, unfortunately. Down by Mount Ascutney.

Not to brag, but we finally got a decent amount, about 8-9 inches. Unfortunately it may be gone in a couple of days with rain predicted, again.

Yes, I can read it, thank you for sharing !!!

Great chili.

I am a loner, I understand the need to walk alone. I have hiked long enough to know what I need to bring no matter what season if I insist on being by myself. I greatly enjoy the peace and quiet of nature. There may be others passing me in either direction on the trail, but then they’re gone...

So, overall impressions- any recs for grippiest shoe out there ?

Case by case, as has been pointed out. But ego often knows no restraint, regardless of age.

This is excellent but also sad that every possible threat must be spelled out for those who still need to be told not to snort Tide pods.

Ditto.

Only in Vermont would the authorities foot drag this long. Why I hike NH.
