    Hi there, I was just wondering if there was a certain time frame in which you had to climb all the 4000 ft peaks of New England. Can you space it out over years? Thanks, Greg

    Rock Climbing questions

    The Gym in Rutland is pretty nice. The people there are pretty cool, you have to take a 10$ class introduction to climbing. I would call ahead to make sure they don't have it booked for private functions. The couple of times I've dropped in it was booked with kids. Deer's Leap across from...

    Hiking in Vermont this weekend

    I'm in southern VT and went hiking around Bourn Pond the other day when it was 70 degrees and needed snowshoes. There was still three feet of snow. It's been really dry and mud season hasn't really shown up this year, sure some spots are muddy. I would expect to encounter some snow especially...

    Advice on the trail...no thanks!

    Can't we just all get along? :confused: I don't think it's about the gear your wearing or how big you your pack is, it's how you use your head. Granted a lot of tourons do do a lot of silly things, but there usually the ones sporting the big money don't know how to light a match gear. We are...

    Backcountry snowboarding question

    I've done a lot of backcountry hiking up riding down on my shred sled this winter and found that my Burton Freestyle boots rock! They're hard to get snowshoes around because they're big so I just hike in them,(super comfy&warm) maybe post-hole a tad. I have a north face sack that my board...

    Dorset Peaks - VT Saturday 3/5/05

    Just went up to Dorset Peak last Weds. The trail is easy to follow and was packed from a snowsled with 6'' on top. The hollow is well maintained. I parked at the end of the hollows where the trail starts. I took about 2 1/2 hours to get to the top. Snow is very deep at the top with major...
