Digress button on.... What if there was discipline of jurisprudence called 'sleeping malpractice'? or hiking law? Digress button off... Even if you were forced to sleep out in a restricted/wilderness zone, and the USFS found you, the emergency and situation would be weighed against you for...

Hey Larry, that's no problem. I'll be at Pinkham until August 13 so you are more than welcome to drop by. You will (and VFTT) receive a few appropriate responses to the climb and some pix.

Audrey, that would be terrific to meet you on top of North Twin, champagne would be wonderful and appropriate way to celebrate, thanks! In terms of time, going by the AMC guidebook, I will most likely arrive there at 2.00pm or earlier depending on my stride. The route will be an 8.00am start...

Many years ago on the summit of Galehead, a young Ridgewalker climbed his first 48. Now, in the year 2010, he is proud to announce that he is will be climbing over Zealand and officially summiting North Twin…not far from where he started. We will be climbing August 12, meet at Pinkham Notch at...

If anyone is up for a last minute hike to climb Zealand and No. Twin for no. 45and 46 on the 4K list, for tomorrow July 24, is welcome to post here and coordinate logistics with me.

My goodness, you have been in Heaven! Patriotism, delicious views, and swimming. If life could be like that I would be happier. Thanks for sharing your Elysian moments.

Some of you may have heard that last night another person died on Tuckerman Ravine. There are things in life in which transpire in which we must answer to, in this case the loss of life. Last night, the Pinkham Notch front desk summoned my presence to assist in the recovery of the remains of a...

I was up on that route several weeks ago and ran into no problems, MichaelJ's info is still current. Regards. RW

Nab them and tie them down and strip them barefoot and place salt on their feet. Send out goats who will lick them and cause the culprit to die of laughter.

The Quartermaster Corps was based out of Camp Dodge during their testing, might explain a few thing about the set up of the place.

The Tuckerman Ravine trail is now FYI

This is the latest news that I am sharing from Pinkham Notch to everyone, and to alert of anyone's travels in these woods. The RMC Perch is "receiving significant rehabilitation this summer, and as a result, we are closing the shelter completely from July 12-August 20." Thank you...

too bad they did not resolve to rebuild for the reasons stated above.

After nursing my wounds from my last climb in the Wildcats, I recovered and felt that another hike was due. Instead of wallowing in my room that I could not hike, a contrary choice was made to climb Isolation. The route was to be ambitious: Glen Boulder, Davis, and down to Rocky Branch...

Over this past weekend there was a rise of ambition and ounce of desire to solo the Wildcats. For some, I may have committed hiking sacrilige by not doing the whole ridge, but instead sought my two peaks from the ski slope. There is one thing I learned about soloing, can be dangerous, but also...

Climbed Wildcat D from ski slope by ways of the gondola trail. Took two hours, up and down to climb. Snow is patchy and spotty. The opening of the ridge by the old fire tower deck looks good, tower is still there but now gated because the integrity is questionable. Snowshoes may be required for...

Mark, it looks like we ran into you coming down from Waumbek on Saturday. We were the early bird crew that was hopping down around 1030-1100. You seem to have better luck with your photos, as mine were hazy...yours are gorgeous (sp) to look at! Isn't Peaches is a great place to dine for...

After a rain check from last weekend, today certainly made up for the rain we had most of this dying week. So Marty, Rols, and I tagged Waumbek today, bright and early at six a.m. We moved rapidly in the course of three hours through the lower elevations into a garden of sweet smelling conifers...

Hey Steve, see this recent TR: http://vftt.org/forums/showthread.php?t=35129 Regards, Ridgewalker

Larry, I think that's a stylish hat you rocked on the hike. Earl, et. al, wished to have joined and met a few new faces. We'll have to go out and climb again over the summer, find me at Pinkham...
