Hi Becca, yup that was them then. We passed them around 2pm right below treeline on Watson so it took them about three hours presumably to tag Madison (or maybe bypass) and get to TJ. They said nothing to us about Washington though, sheesh. Yeah that was one of the littlest babies I'd ever seen...

Couple with infant Hey Becca, Funny you should mention the couple withe infant. We did a loop over Adams and Madison, then down the Watson Path on Saturday morning. It was wild up there in the morning, 30-40mph sustained winds, damp and wet. Incredibly on the way down the Watson Path, just...

Hi Rup, we had a friend running the race so we got some pictures from down low on the mountain. Great crowd, lots of rain early in the morning. Nothing special as far as pics go but if you follow this link it'll take you so a small album. http://danandmeenakshi.phanfare.com/5168104

Hi Woody, yup, maybe next time we'll get the Packs out of the way first! LOL Quietman - Yes, plenty of White Mountain-like ups and down on this one!

Meena and I did a one day traverse of the Wapack Trail Saturday. The rain stayed away right until the very last 20 minutes! 21.4 miles in 12:45 hours. An exhausting, but glorious day traveling along a snow-free and mud free (mostly) Southern NH gem. The Wapack has everything - great views of the...

Thanks everyone. I'll keep my eyes open and let you know what we find. Michael, if we decide to do a more limited loop Garfield/Galehead, we'll def. use the tent platforms!

Hey folks, Quick question about throwing down a tent around Galehead Hut. We're planning a overnight to tag Garfield, Galehead and the Twins and figured plopping down for the night around Galehead Hut might be a good middle ground. Been there during summer, but not during winter (which it...

Have a plan. Tell somebody else your plan. Stick to your plan. But if something goes wrong, don't be married to your plan.

Thanks for the kind words everyone! We're glad you like it!

Not New England but a climb report. Our chapter on our actual climb up Kala Patthar has been posted and I thought it might be of some interest. Here's the link: www.expeditionkalapatthar.blogspot.com Here's the pictures link: http://danandmeenakshi.phanfare.com/5016783 Thanks for any interest...

Karl and Trish - Thank you both for the kind words. It means a lot coming from the two of you as you are both excellent writers as well! And Karl, just name the day, let's get out there! Why wait for summer :)

Hi Maddy, thank you so much! Happy you're enjoying!

Thanks Dave, didn't even realize you could shut signature tags off! Michael - Thanks for posting my links! Raven / Erugs - Thanks for the encouragement, glad you're enjoying!

Hi Mohamed, Links are on the tag under the picture. Should have been more clear on that, sorry!

Hello everyone, I thought you may have some interest in this week's post on our blog, as it details our attempt at Everest Base Camp and includes some pics I thought you might all enjoy! You can check out the blog, or the full picture albums at the links below. In writing about our journey...

Hi Jim, We did Everest Base Camp and Kala Patthar last October and I'll be more than happy to help in any way I can! I'll send you a email note answering as many of those questions as I can. We did it on our own, unguided and no porters, so some of the questions I can't answer but I'll do the...

Howdy Grouse! Yup, it cleared for a little bit at the top, which was pretty cool - made for some nice colors between the low clouds and the mist. And it was a mud and slush fest! Hope you find your micro-spike!

Happy New Year everybody! Moosilauke on New Year's Day - temps in the 40's, hard packed but slushy along the Glencliff Traill, and a muddy slush bath on the ridge leading to the summit. Many, many, deep puddles of slush and mud. One good freeze, and the trail will become a bumpy ice rink (if it...

Journey to Nepal Beautiful photos everyone, wow! I thought I'd share my favs from our trip to Nepal! Ama Dablem above and below The road to Pumori above, Pumori in the mist below The way to Base Camp Feeling small in a big country Awi Peak at night in the Pheriche Valley...

Hotel Namche Hi Darl, That's too funny! The reason the momos were so good at the Hotel Namche is because it's owned by the same fellow who owns The Yak! Small world, huh? And his sister owns the Trekkers Lodge in Tengboche, which is where we stayed the next day. he called ahead for us. Great...
