Ragged Mountain is the HQ also for The Mount Washington Ski Touring Center. So I think the answer to your question is "Yes".

Not sure if Ragged Mountain still does consignment and what their present rates are. But they attract a different audience than IME which might help sell your gear. Ragged is more hiker oriented in general whereas IME attracts a more technical crowd which is reflective of both stores already...

The former is the way to go. Having someone else sight you from the side works best. Most folks contouring of the bars will be in the lower back area. Start slowly and be conservative with the amount of bend initially. Better to bend them a little bit and have to go back and bend them more to...

Log House Designs is still with us. Ragged Mountain Equipment is for sale if you want to hop into the game. https://log-house-designs.square.site/ https://www.loopnet.com/biz/Business-Opportunity/longtime-mt-washington-valley-staple-is-being-offered-for-sale/2220846/

Do you have a source for that info?

Just a heads up. This is a popular spot so I thought I would get the word out. From TheRMC’s FB Page. LOG CABIN CLOSURE The Log Cabin Shelter maintained by the Randolph Mountain Club on Lowe’s Path shall be closed to overnight guests Monday- Wednesday nights beginning 6/25/24 and continuing...

Both at EMS and IME the line between the retail and the climbing school was nearly transparent back in the 70’s and 80’s. You could be cragging in the morning and see a climbing guide from one of the stores then later that afternoon be shopping and see the same bro behind the counter selling...

It's a dog-eat-dog world and has been for a long time in the Outdoor Industry. Many companies start small as cottage industries only to be bought out by the next bigger fish in the pond. EMS has been on that Bus for a long time. If this is not the final stop IMO it is just a matter of time.

It's all about greed. https://thehimalayantimes.com/nepal/holy-stink-piles-of-poop-litter-mt-everest https://worldwideheadline.com/technology/mount-everest-starts-to-stink-approximately-3-tons-of-feces/

Thank you for agreeing. I stated this earlier in the thread: “Yes it is bizarre but to say climbing in a gym is not dangerous is not entirely true IMO. It may be less dangerous than say free soloing El Cap but it is not in absence of inherent dangers”. It’s the lawyers that would have to be...

How about the hiker who was leaving a bunch of painted rocks claiming to go back and retrieve them all a few years back?

I guess that is your personal belief then. Why dis on other’s beliefs then promote your own? Seems pretty NIMBY to me. For the record IMO any crap whether prayer flags or summit canisters are all garbage and don’t belong. In todays digital world if reading others thoughts and experiences is...

My understanding or at least the tales I’ve been told that those symbols were a reference to the people whom adhere to the belief of “Pyramid Power”. If you look at a topo map The summits of Adams, Mount Sam Adams, and Mount Quincy Adams form nearly a perfect equilateral triangle. Therefore a...

IMO still not a place for sarcasm. Although I do agree with the rest of this comment. Doing a simple Google Search for the definition of “Dangerous” results in a common theme of results. The underlying answers all share common results that include the following: “If something is dangerous, it is...

That sounds a bit callous IMO. Have you done any technical climbing to perhaps base your opinion from? I have lost friends climbing and skiing so I fail to see your humor. I’d be willing to trade stories if you have any.

I disagree. Rare or not why are there accidents and people die in climbing gyms. Please share your definition and or opinion of what is dangerous. Maybe what is not perceived dangerous to you may be by another individual.

Definitely some very interesting Video. All that jugging and not an Ice axe in site.

Interesting to read comments on The White Mountain Volunteer's FB Page. Here is a quote from their page regarding activity OBP/FW from yesterday Sunday 6/26/24. On a positive note it looks as if this program is having some positive results: "A lot of groups started the Memorial Day weekend with...

I'm old enough to remember when Limmers in Intervale, NH sold not only boots but tents, stoves and other miscellaneous outdoor gear. This was before EMS even existed in The MWV. Not too long after their initial Store in 1967 located in Wellsley, MA they open up EMS Climbing School in North...
