The Cloud Chaser is a great jacket. Toby LOVES his and gets all grumpy when I take it off at the end of a hike. My little guy plays hard, and the jacket has easily stood up to his abuses... I'd say it's definitely durable enough for bushwhacking. As is noted in the reviews, I have noticed that...

I love 'em! When are we going on our 2011 Pemi adventure???

I pride myself on my extensive vocabulary... Not ;).

Video - Tour of the Northern Pass A fascinating look at how this abhorrent powerline project will affect some of our favorite NH mountains, trails, places and views... Loon Cannon South Kinsman Moosilauke The Appalachian Trail The Rocks Estate ...to name a few...

48 in 1 winter #3. Sub-9 Pemi. Finally knock that damn Hut Traverse off my list. No ankle rolls on Cabot, or any other peak for that matter.

I'm with Marty, Kahtoola KTS all the way! There has only been one instance in the Whites where I've wished I had something more aggressive, and even then I had a friend with me who still managed to complete that hike in Microspikes. It's important to get the STEEL version. The aluminum ones will...

I, too, have been very pleased with the Garmonts. Positives - Warm and waterproof. I wore them on five hikes last week, and as you all know the conditions were extremely varied - from negotiating open water crossings to some pretty sweet trail breaking. The boots kept my feet dry and happy...

Whiteface/Passaconaway will be done as a traverse with the Tripyramids, so we'll be looking to break out Kate Sleeper, Rollins, and Dicey Mill. Looks like there has already been traffic heading down from Passaconaway from the Kanc which is great! Right now the biggest challenges ahead of us are...

Day One Update Ryan asked me to share the following stats from day one: Total Hiking Time: 13 hours 50 minutes Average HR: 135 Calories Burned: 10,000+ Having helped to break out Cabot, the Wildcats, and the Carters over the past two days, I can say with 100% conviction that conditions are...

Hands down the most important thing for me when selecting winter pants = 3/4 to full-length side zips. I find that they enable me to regulate my temperature far better than breathable fabric ever could, especially when I'm in the mood to go out and destroy myself on a climb. I also lean towards...

Facebook opposition group. I am disgusted by this project and the sheer devastation it will cause... for the sake of supplying the majority of its electrical power to southern New England states.

Pat and Audrey, Thank you so much for hosting this fantastic event!! I had a blast and can't wait for next year. :) Larisa

Will you fine gentlemen take me dry-tooling sometime? Or Maybe a free solo up Waumbek?

I will be in attendance... :D

Let's all go hiking together sometime... please???

Wow, those look really nice. I want to like Salomons so badly, but I think they are cut too wide for my very narrow feet... end up with terrible toe-bang on descents :(.

I wholeheartedly agree. The Scaur Ridge trail is a gem (though there are a handful of nasty blowdowns that you'll need to negotiate right now). The grades are so moderate that it barely feels as if you're climbing.

Lots of people rave about the Salomon B52s. I will be trying out the Garmont Momentum Snow GTXs this year: http://www.zappos.com/garmont-momentum-snow-gtx~2 I had the opportunity to check them out at a friend's house this past weekend. Fairly lightweight (looks like they are a little over 1lb...

Bring it ON! Can't wait until Toby sees his first snow... :D

What up pockets?!
