Congratulations on finishing your 4000 footers!

A few shots from the Mount Washington Road Race last Saturday. I "ran" (using the word loosely) 1:46 and change, 5+ minutes faster than two years ago! =) After the race, I joined friends for the walk back down, via Lion Head. Shots are from my iPhone and a Canon point-n-shoot. Waiting...

Beautiful photos Mark. Love the Bigelows!

The Lion Head winter route still is (or was) open. You might want to call to double check before making plans. There's some bare rock and a fair amount of mud. A rope has been left in one bare spot that would otherwise be tricky, particularly with crampons on. Headwall and Lion Head...

Here's a brief slide show of yesterday's hike from the gravel pit near Abol Bridge to Abol Campground to the summit of Baxter Peak and back. Sleds, microspikes, crampons, axes, snowshoes, skis - something for everyone. It was a glorious day. Thanks to Carmen A, Atticus F, Mike M, Jerry M...
