Monadnock Closed

[Andrew]

Park manager at Monadnock State Park asked me to post that the ice storm was devastating at the area, and he has closed the park for the time being and probably through the weekend.

Despite his efforts Poole Rd. is repeatedly blocked by fallen and falling trees, and his assumption is that many trails are blocked and caked in glare ice & will be difficult to follow.

Many may try uncontrolled trailheads, but realize that it will be difficult to provide assistance if you get into trouble, as all public services will be strained for some time while dealing with clean up & other emergencies.

If you participate in other well used northeast hiking forums, please pass this on.

When was the last time Monadnock was closed?

Is Larry Davis (that's his name, right?) still climbing this every day? If so, this may have stopped his amazing streak of climbing Monadnock every day for like 10 or 15 years or so (I can't remember the actual streak).

No, he stopped years ago, at 2850 consecutive days (7.8 years).
