The Helly Hansen Santo, There is no substitute :D.

Given the current parking situation according to Frodo and associates, I would hike from the west up the Ammy and down Gulfside and Jewell and then hit Clay on the way down. I love the Ammy in summer but have never done it in winter. With The Base Rd. open I would with out a doubt take...

Happy Festivus! :D

A friend of mine uses shoe goo on the bottoms of his pants. He just smears it on to create a protective coating over the gortex. It seems to work. I usually just use duct tape.

I have a pair of OR fleece mittens with shells and I wear them with polypro glove liners and my hands still get really cold! I was looking at the new campmor catalogue and I saw a wristband that holds hand warmers over the arteries in your wrist, and they claim that they keep your hands warm...

If you are talkin' about the temple mountain in N.H. you can find some info in the AMC's southern N.H. trail guide. :D --Darwin

While hiking recently in the presi's I thought I didn't need crampons. I stepped off the trail because it was to icy and bam!! Wouldn't ya know it, I slipped on some hidden ice and almost poked my eyeball out on some vegetation :eek: ! So, my new rule is, if the word crampons even come in to my...

Thanks turnbill, your post was inspiring!!! I plan to bring my family this weekend. I think I know the location of Dogtown. It's amazing, but I think I spent a bit of time in the area in my younger days. We'll see....We're goin' "inspirational rock-baggin'" Thanks again!!! Darwin :)

I have found that my grivel classic crampons don't fit my montrail morain's. I am looking for a pair that do. I like the boots and do not like hiking in plastic unless I have to. The only problem is that the rest of my boots are a size 12 and the crampons I have now fit all of my other boots...

I will be on Carrigan on Sunday. Hope to see some of you there! I will be at the trailhead around 9:30. :D

I love my Leki Makalu's,although I have found that on really cold days it's better to ajust them in a warm enviroment before hiking, because for some reason if you don't they gradually collapse to the little person position ;). In all other conditions they are great!

Hey Mr. X, Put your money on the the monkey, and maybe somthing will happen! But I vote for Mt.Mansfield in winter!

What a truly amazing and inspiring day!!!!! Team Darwin began the trip at 9 am at the Starr King trail head. The hike up was smooth and uneventful. The summit of Starr King was truly unique. We enjoyed the summit for approximately 15 mins and made our way to the summit of Waumbek for our...

Unfortunatly, I have twisted my ankle trying to ride a skate board at a family outing today and will not be able to hike on sunday. I am very sorry about everything. I am hiking Waumbek for flags on the 48 if you are looking to get that for your list you are more than welcome to come with...

Sounds good I'll be there!

I'll see you next Sunday!!

I have a couple of pairs of gor-tex convertable pants. They are made by the north face, and I think my wife found them at tj max or somthing like that.

Don't ever use one in the winter even if it is insulated.

I love my leki's and use them on every hike.
