    Free Climbing and Mountaineering Library

    We are downsizing and I am ready to part with my large collection of mountain books, many first editions and most long out of print. Most of these books are 1970-1990 era releases. And many are classics. Authors include Bonatti, Joe Brown, Bonnington, Haston, MacInnes, Ullman, Terray, and many...

    EMS Sold -- Again

    The EMS final bankruptcy auction is Aug 30. Mountain Warehouse, based in the UK, is the stalking horse bidder that will likely get the assets and assume the debt. This bidder seems more like a Bob"s Store business model than a focused outdoor retailer like EMS. Anything can happen at the...

    Drop a Dime

    It is basically a total lack of wilderness knowledge, respect and ethics. Many of these folks are in the mountains only for themselves with the simple goal of bagging peaks. You don't need an LNT course to know leaving a dump on the trail is gross and antisocial. How many hikers these days...

    I have all the gear I need

    My stuff wears out even when I don't use! Rain flys shed seam sealer, packs lose water proofing, boot mid-soles deteriorate and crumble in the closet, etc. etc. And then there's that "smell" old gear acquires as it ages. I don't buy much these days but when I do it's fun to get the latest...

    Sad News

    I think he considered this group his extended family, and that's why he worked so hard to keep VFTT alive. He was a presence here for over 25 years, and an authoritative source of North country information and north-of-the-notches perspective. As a moderator he proved himself to be fair and...

    Broken bodies, broken hearts, broken minds: Nature --and our little peaks here in New England-- helps heal them all. Always has and always will. And for that I am grateful.
