i'm bringing my camcorder. ;)

I'm just going to reiterate what Bob said here. There will be racers and alot of spectators in Tuckermans.. they put up ski gates and everything... going to be an awesome time, but also might not be the best time to ski in there. Go early if anything I'm guessing.

just that i wake up about 1/3 later than him. :D

Haha.. sweet!! I got only 500 weird looks coming down at 11:30.

yeah,.. kinda like a jog. :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9VkrC0O1U4

Park Rangers estimated about 2,000 people skiing in the Ravines on Saturday. I went out for a morning jog up Odells Gully and then walked over to the lip of Tucks to check out the scene. It was morning and the masses were gathered waiting for the snow to soften a bit. Yep, it's spring skiing...

;) (and a few characters so i can post that winking emoticon)

If you're looking to save weight, leave your headlamp in the car.

well i think the best thing the northeast has to offer -is- huntington ravine.. :) but that aside.. yeah, baxter is awesome. next trip in there i want to climb the longer, technically harder routes on the other side of the south basin.. so i don't see hauling myself in there again for a couple...

The times not climbing? Eh, it was alright. ;)

Taken from one of my posts last year.. which was taken from from websites by local guides (Art Mooney, Marc Chauvin) and summitpost: Elevation Gains: Pinkham to the floor of Huntington Ravine: ~2,100 ft From the floor up the lower snow slopes to the base of a climb: ~400 ft From the base of the...

thanks all.. this day was a big deal for me in many ways, so i appreciate your words. thank you, sierra. oh yes.. i go west as much as i can and that usually ends up being twice a year.. one 'winter' climb and one 'summer' climb. my next objective is the north face of mt. hood. i am headed...

i agree with mtnpa.

Now here is where some may say I cheated, but to that I say.. well, nothing.. because I don't care. You see, Diagonal intersects Yale Gully at the top of the first pitch, when I ran into Jeff and Mats. I did not climb down to the base of the ice bulges that guard Yale Gully. Instead I...

The Dream: Up Pinnacle, Down South, Up Odells, Down Diagonal, Up North, Down Diagonal, Up Damnation, Down Diagonal, Up Yale, Down Diagonal, Up Central, Down Diagonal. Climbing all the gullies in Huntington Ravine in one day has occupied my mind for a year. It certainly is no novel idea and...

ooohhh... so many things i can say.. sooo many things. instead i'll laugh. hahahahahhahaha. ok, i'm done here.

I have, rather Jeff has.. His third edition (2002) "An Ice Climbers Guide to Northern New England" with Peter Lewis.

Thanks everyone. :) Sorry for the delayed reply! Misha Kirk and Mike Gilbert put up Dougals a year before they did Piggy Wiggy in 1973. The Funnel, which, if you look at the pic with Jeff in front of the three gullies.. is the route in the middle. unknown on that one, according to the guide...
