Don and I decided to try the Six Husbands Trail below Mount Jefferson. We were looking for something challenging and new for us. We were unable to gather a lot of information about the climb but we did read some summer trip reports and got some good info off of some hiking forums. We spent a...

Right now our free weekends are Feb 27 and March 13. :)

We are off! Heading up north this afternoon. The forecast looks great too! The plan is to get up early Saturday and be on the trail before 5am. We will start off of The Great Gulf Trail across from Camp Dodge. We will take that to the six husbands trail. From there we will summit...

That is so awesome! Your pictures are great and Alex is so cute! I think it is great to have a child that is so passionate about the outdoors and what a wonderful way to spend time together! Great Job to both of you! :)

No date picked yet. The weather will be a factor too! :)

Thank you for all of the info! We don't really know what to expect but we do hope that the weather is good for that weekend!

I am certainly not opposed to making it a 2 night deal either. I just figured with 25lb small packs we could probably move quick. I would definitely bring a bivy sack and my puffy down jacket and pants, stove, fuel and rations to survive in an emergency situation even for a one day attempt...

We are looking to do the Presi Traverse in late February/early March. We want to do the summits including Madison, Jackson, and Webster. Is anyone up for doing this with us? We are toying with possibly doing it in a super long day if weather and conditions are perfect or breaking it up and...

The weekend of Feb 6 we are looking to do the six husbands trail. The plan is to take Old Jackson Road from Pinkham notch and make our way to the Six Husbands Trail, summit Jefferson and then head to Washington and down from there to Pinkham. We are looking at doing this in a day. Has anyone...

Great Job! That is an awesome accomplishment! :)

Your pictures are AMAZING! It looks like you guys are having a blast! :)

This is so cool! Good luck on your attempt! :)

No Doc Benton stories this time! As for the summer months, I just don't enjoy them like I enjoy the winter! Ultramarathons are a great way to pass the time and it makes for funny stories of stupid things you have done in your life when you are old.

thank you! Winter is the time of year that I come out of hibernation! It is always exciting and always beautiful! I love to look at everyones pictures and trip reports on this forum! Such an inspiration!

So Don and I headed up to Kinsman notch on Saturday to do some climbing. We attempted one climb called the Luck of the Irish and ended up bagging it due to conditions. It was kind of hollow and we aren't super climbers yet so we found another climb just past it. It was a bit sketchy due to...

No, I am just not feeling the ice leading this year. I need to suck it up and just do it! Don is doing a wonderful job with the leads and I have been enjoying being a second! Yes, no noseguard on this trip! As dorky as that thing is, I love wearing it! It is super comfy and I don't get...

Our original plan was to go over the other side but we changed our minds. We took a couple of quick pics to show we made it but it was cold! Spending so much time in the Whites we totally underestimated the Adirondaks. They are real mountains too! For layers I had on a Techwick longsleeve, a...

Don and I ended up in the Adirondaks for New Years. We drove up Friday and then had breakfast at Noonmark Diner before heading into the Canyon to climb. We ended up climbing Quinn the Eskimo which was a bit too low angle. We then did Midnight Cruiser and had a blast! We headed out and made our...
