    Fall at Tuck's this past weekend

    OH MY GOD. That is horrible. How the hell did he get out of the waterfall / crevasse? Based on the video, it just screams out: That person was not ok. I am glad to hear they are alright. Wow. Way too many people go to Tuckerman Ravine who are inexperienced, underprepared and have no clue what...

    Mr Pizza in Gorham is Closing (Now Reopened under new owners)

    Mr. Pizza is the sole reason I have ever hiked in NH to begin with….as just an excuse to eat there afterwards. This is crushing news. Every time an awesome pizza place closes, an angel loses its wings and a part of me dies.

    New MSR Paragon bindings - good? resiliant?

    I broke my MSR Lightning Ascents yesterday. (broken frame). So I just went down and got some new ones, but they now have these Paragon bindings, instead of the 3 strap toe system they had prior. How is this new system? Durable? Better than the 3 strap toe system? I hope the new system is good...

    How do we keep folks from hiking Saturday?

    As I understand it, the Mount Washington record low ambient temperature was -47. I saw the Observatory recorded -47.1, so it would appear that it has beaten the record low. Wow.

    -109 windchill -46.2 ambient Less than 1 degree left to break the all-time ambient record on Mt Washington and it’s still early in the night.

    How do we keep folks from hiking Saturday?

    -96 w/windchill and it’s only 3:15. I think it’s going to shatter the record.

    How do we keep folks from hiking Saturday?

    At this point I am just rooting for Mt Washington to break the all-time low. We got -47 and -97 w/windchill to beat. Go Mt Washington!!

    How do we keep folks from hiking Saturday?

    Higher Summits forecast for NH is saying windchills could reach -101 Friday/Saturday NEGATIVE 101!!!!! Man, that is a lethal temperature! I’m definitely going to sit out until this extreme cold wave passes.

    How do we keep folks from hiking Saturday?

    The Higher Summits Forecast hasn't gotten to Friday and Saturday yet. But I wouldn't be surprised if the windchill gets near to 100 below on Mt Washington at some point Friday or Saturday.

    Moosilauke Carriage Rd Ski Trail conditions?

    Southern Vermont received a lot of snow in the past week, but I am not sure about central NH. I was thinking of trying to ski the Moosilauke Carriage Rd ski trail. Anyone know if there’s decent snow up that way?? Thanks!

    Original Katahdin 1853 painting at Yale

    I visited the Yale University Art Gallery last weekend and they had the Frederic Edwin Church painting of Mt Katahdin from 1853. Really cool to see this original work in person. The Art Gallery also had an original Thomas Cole painting of the Catskills which was awesome.

    Killington via Shrewsbury Peak Trail

    That last ascent portion to the top of Killington is a bit rough! Nice photos - especially the Pico one.

    Any snow dusting yet?

    I had heard there was a possibility last night of some snow dustings in the higher elevations upon the temperature dropping. Any magic fairy dust up there? Psyched for winter!

    Any Hot Weather Hikers Out There?

    This past weekend was an ultra rare weekend where I basically didn't hike at all. My wife and I did a short 2 mile jaunt and that was it. Way too hot. Today feels even worse. I hate not getting outdoors, but this heat/humidity is so bad I'd rather huddle around the air conditioner than collapse...
