Thanks guys. We had a nice day on Saturday-- up Jerusalem over the Long Trail and down Battell. Car spot was not bad. Spikes all day, as there was a hard crust everywhere and only a few tricky spots with hard ice. Until the next snowfall, no need for snowshoes.

Any advice regarding Battell versus the Long Trail for a traverse of Ellen and Abraham? Both appear to be packed out from trip reports. With the road walk to the LT summer trailhead, Battell appears to be slightly shorter. We will be headed back to Jericho VT afterwards and head in via the...

Awesome!!! Yes, post more pics!

Hmm-- We must have run into you at some point (Maybe I passed you at the very end?) I was leading a group of 9 on the traverse for AMC Boston, but I ran ahead with one other person at the end to try to get to Fabians before it closed. We were down about 9:50 ish. The end of our group made it...

Great! Look forward to meeting you Tuck!

Totally understand Tuck. Keep an eye on www.outdoors.org to see if the Boston Chapter Above Treeline Workshop gets listed for general registration. I also believe that the NH Chapter may have a weekend devoted to advanced techniques, although I can't tell you much about the details.

Good question Tuck. Yes. The Boston Chapter has two Above Treeline Workshops where participants learn ice axe and cramponing techniques and practice them and self-arrest on a Saturday then climb Washington via Lion's Head on Sunday. Really a great weekend. I totally recommend. Spaces are...

Many of us have been hiking for years in all 4 seasons. But for many newer hikers, getting out in winter is intimidating. The Boston AMC hosts a great Winter Hiking program with 5 classes about layering, gear, boots, weather analysis, safety etc and 19 different trips for budding winter hikers...

Thanks Nartreb and TJsname!

But enough to filter? Thanks for the update and for your great site!

Thanks JCarter and Maine guy! What about this from Summitpost? Once at your destination of Mt Isolation, the nearest water is a tiny but reliable stream that crosses Davis Path about half a mile south of Mt Isolation's summit.

I'm planning a backpack from Glen Boulder south to 302 via the Davis Path for mid October. I searched old threads and came up with conflicting information. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 1) I read about references to a spring on Mt Davis-- is this fictional? 2) The resolution shelter...

Thanks Alex and Roy. Mission was accomplished without too many scars ;)

Thanks Chris! Yup, that's the line we were looking at (although I am an advisor not a participant, as I'm heading to CA in a few days for some family time and then hiking/backpacking in Sequoia/Kings Canyon.) And thanks too, Peakbagger!

Upon repeating the search with different spellings, I did come up with one thread from 2005, which indicated that it could be done but was quite thick. Anyone tried it?

Hey folks, My friend Mike Henrick wants a gentler descent from Owls Head than the slide or Brutus. Has anyone tried to bushwhack down the northwest ridge or up from thirteen falls? I did a search and didn't come up with anything, which surprised me. Any beta would be appreciated. Thanks!

Disturbing.

I often wear my side zip rain pants over shorts in summer if it's rainy and cold or I'm at camp and I need bulletproof bug protection. I recently tried a bunch of different ones and much prefer mountain hardwear to marmot precips. Sierra Trading Post has prior year Mountain Hardwear models super...

We found a smart phone while hiking Scar Ridge on 11/2. PM me if you lost one there.

A hiker was rescued after surviving a bear attack and spending three months, exposed to snow and freezing temperatures, in a remote corner of northern Canada, police said. Police located Marco Lavoie, 44, in the wilderness near Waskaganish, Quebec, on Wednesday, 10 days after his family...
