Climb all the Vermont 3ks and earn a patch. Check it out.

Thanks a lot!!!! Some mountains were unsurpassed in awfulness to try to ski; others were some of the best most heavenly powder turns of my life. Great to ski 110 mountains without having spent a dime on a lift ticket! Here is the flyer for the Green Mountain Club event:

I love this post, it gets more impressive year after year. Congratulations to everyone on there accomplishing such great things, So awesome! This one especially blew me away: "NH 48" "After the Age of 75" "Winter Season" 2019 Georg Feichtinger Jan 5 Bondcliffs Wow!!

There is snow and probably a significant amount of ice after Saturday's rain. It is snowing again today in the area. That is a great trail!

I was out climbing in Northern Vermont that day....the wind was terrible and visibility was low. My max elevation was ~3,250' that day. I can't imagine how windy and bad it must've been on Lafayette. Glad he was successfully rescued!

That is so awesome Oncomon!! Way to go! Maine 200 in winter is an extremely tough list and an extraordinary achievement!!

Anyone go out yesterday? I climbed Wheelock Mountain and Stannard Mountain in Wheelock and Stannard Vermont - Blizzard conditions with some extreme gusts. I had read that NH had some super intense wind yesterday, particularly in the higher summits. Anyone experience that?

Awesome post!! Amen to that. I would rather be incarcerated in Federal Prison than have to live in Las Vegas.

If confirmed, that's too bad because their avalanche reports are incredibly well detailed and helpful. A lot of work must go into those.

I recently read about this. So over-the-top. It is particularly amazing that he was able to have good enough weather for all 14 - which allowed them to be summited during the short window in which he climbed. Probably going to be a while before this record is broken. I read that before this the...

I hear you on that one! I can barely pronounce basic english words let alone those 15 syllable Indian names! I don't have a clue on those!

The Ranger at the Baxter gate was so incredibly impolite and bitter. I didn't even say anything, she just comes up to the car and is like: "Well I guess I'll deal with you next..." How about "Welcome To Baxter State Park" next time??! Then we informed her we were going to Slide Dam towards North...

Great photos, I love the Bigelows. Among the very best in the Northeast in my opinion.

On the way back from hiking in Maine yesterday I drove on Route 2 past the north part of the Presidentials. The northern flank is already showing significant colors. I would say it is possible in that small section the leaves could peak before calendar Fall even begins. Hopefully snow will...

Not only has Oncomon completed the 770, but he’s done many other major lists as well - Vermont 2k’s, etc.... Such an accomplished bushwhacker. Way to go! Nice work Oncomon, so awesome!! Jean and I are almost done....I'm at 745. I plan to finish in 2020.

My Wife and I climbed Barren on Sunday which lived up to the hype as being the hardest mountain in Maine. It was like getting a root canal done without anesthesia. It felt like a gyro-cyclone car wash of Medusa snakes on angel dust. Barren is such a misnomer. Calling this mountain Barren is like...

OH.MY.GOD. Absolutely awesome Oncomon! I love nature and the woods as you do, you are a huge inspiration.

I have climbed the 46'ers and my wife says I act like a 4 year old - does that count?

Everyone I have recommended the movie to who has watched it has really enjoyed it and been glad they watched the film. Such a fascinating character. I love when he says in the documentary: [paraphrasing] Why would I ever want to take a cruise? There's nothing interesting or adventurous in just...

Gotcha - that make sense now, if you start at the end of the first month and finish in the first 3 days of the last month, then you could get it down to around 309 days from the calendar start to finish. After that it will just be shaving off hours and minutes because it would be impossible to...
