Multi-tools That's why I made sure that my "leatherman" was the model that included a pair of vicegrips.

Too late Man, I wish you had posted this before I ordered two pairs!

Congratulations Congratulations to Ryan for this new record. Records are made to be broken and part of what makes breaking this one so special was that the old one was set by two such amazing hikers as Tim and Cath.

Wow The mind boggles. Let's see: 48 4000-ft NH peaks times 12 months in a year times three times ... hmmm .... er.... @#$% calculator ... oh there it is: 1728 peaks. Congratulations on an amazing feat (or should I say "feet"?) (and Go! Shake & bake!)

It's worse than you know: Brutus ISN'T in the picture. :p

Bon Voyage Best of luck and happy trails to you.

Wow Amazing TR, thanks for sharing it with us. I know there have been many times that I've seen Monadnock so crowded that sitting on Bald Rock I could tell exactly where the White Dot and White Cross trails were because there was a continuous line of people from base to summit. Keep up the...

Great reports, keep 'em coming.

I agree with Doug. I agree. I use a small, all stainless-steel thermos (holds two cups and weighs 300 grams). It is by Nissan stainless. I also use an outdoor research "parka" for my Nalgene and I thumb my nose at whatever leaches out of the plastic (maybe that's why I have a thumb growing...

Although not about swimming holes per se, I like Waterfalls of the White Mountains: 30 Hikes to 100 Waterfalls by Bruce, Doreen, & Daniel Bolnick.

Your photos are breathtakingly beautiful.

Great job That's awesome, congratulations.

Calling George Lucas Still, I'm pretty sure one Jedi with a light saber could take it.

An interesting related link Here's a related story. The day after Min Bahadur Sherchan, 76, from Nepal summited on May 25, Yuichiro Miura, 75, from Japan also made it to the top. Miura skiied Everest (along with Chicken Man Dave, I think :D ) in 1970. This link has the story and a great clip...

Climbers Lost

Well Erik wrote an article where he gives his equipment list for a 10.5 lb. pack. You can read on his website: Fastpacking article by E.S.

Been there, done that Oh, I already did that ... twice. ;)

Today, Google is honoring the anniversary of the Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay summiting Everest. Cute graphic.

Well, I climbed it two weeks ago and you really had to hunt to find any left over snow and ice. Based on that, I feel pretty confident saying that non-liquid water will not be problem.
