Date of Hike: 12-1-07 Trail Conditions: Fine, some spotty snow Special Equipment Required: Winter clothing essential, traction not needed Comments: A great day up on the Ossippee range and a climb of a 50 finest peak Your name:

If you go from the Tripoli Road side you wouldn't need any traction. With the warm weather, the snowline has dropped. It's a moderate hike up with perhaps only one small icy area. If you go from this side, don't miss the little spur off-trail on the west side that leads to a nice view of the...

I used to but my wife won't let me anymore :o She's probably right, not a good idea.

I used mine about 7 times last winter and used strap-on crampons without any problems or wear. I'll keep an eye on them, the crampons barely fit these wide monsters. I haven't had any experience with EMS returns.

I haven't tried the Stabilicers yet. My Charlot Moser 6-point crampons work great for most terrain and I can't seem to wear them out (6 winters now.) When they wear out, I may switch over.

I did this in early May a few years ago, and once in winter. It's several miles from the Osceola Trailhead to the Waterville side. It's a nice walk but going from the trailhead back to the valley gate seems to take forever. Going from the valley side in winter, we made the mistake of...

Doing Grays and Torrey are a classic dayhike. Both peaks are 14ers and considered "easier 14ers." We encountered lots of snow and it was July.

It was a teenager, he thought a hawk had attacked him. We came on the bird only minutes after he kicked it.

Yep, I've been attacked a few times, usually just a peck at the ankles and some hissing. Sometimes people kick them as was the case with this poor guy

Great story. I think they were called Fools Chicken or something because you could approach then quite easily. I've had them peck at my ankles but never sit on my lap! They may not be the smartest bird out there.

I saw a flock of 6-7 robins in the White Mts yesterday, lots of Mountain Ash berries right now.

It depends but usually till mid-November, it's open today STATUS OF ROADS

This is what the Mount Washington Obs is posting for tomorrow Tomorrow: In the clear with an undercast & partly cloudy skies . Highs: lower 20s°F Wind: NW 80-100 decreasing to 55-75mph afternoon Drastic changes coming, be careful

I also liked Humphrey's Peak allot. Their website reports 2" on the ground as of Oct-9. arizonasnowbowl.com/

I saw this too, warmer than average temps for the winter ahead but not as warm as last winter. El-Nino again :mad:

Those are all good. Jackson is good, one little steep section at the end but not usually icy till November (easy to get around anyway.) Osceola from Tripoli would be another good choice. Great views on both.

Congrats to Charlie! Great to see you two on Isolation, what a day for a hike! Looks like a fun route, you get it all on a day like that. Hope to see you out there this winter.
