A new rescue is said to be the "fourth day in a row" people have needed help in the Whites: http://www.wmur.com/news/24079067/detail.html

A quick google reveals her website and email address.

Would it be overly critical - or an act of kindness - to suggest she obtain a NH State map and one of the many excellent hiking maps available so that she can locate trails and know what mountain they pertain to?

Neither. It would simply be logical. Glad the story has a good ending though, as always a big thumbs up to the rescue workers.

I did it a couple years ago at the age of mid fifty-something or other- I thought it was great fun.

approach was via the Subway, where I had to remove my pack and shove it ahead of me, and both myself and pack got stuck a few times.

I know someone who enjoyed climbing it twice in his 60's. Said it got harder the second time, maybe due to wet but not too slippery conditions. Had to be revived with tequila but was then ready to climb Madison.

I have an Uncle who lives in Brooklyn and always called the area where I went to college in the Bronx "upstate".

"

I think its the sign going NoBo out of the Bronx on the Major Deagan that just says "Upstate" with a big arrow that throws them.
