TRIPS

Summer or winter, east or west, ice or alpine. Whatever or wherever you’d like to experience the climb of your life, I can guide you. I have a deep familiarity with the best climbs in the United States and beyond.

ICE CLIMBING
CRAWFORD NOTCH, NH
An ice climber’s paradise…from long alpine gulleys to overhanging mixed climbs, and everything in between. Quick access and high quality climbs makes this area a must visit for everyone.

CANNON CLIFF, NH
This is the real deal, Alpine cragging at its finest. Challenge yourself on classics like the Black Dike WI5- or seek out adventure on Lakeview WI 2 5.5. A winter ascent of a rock route is the best way to prepare for the bigger ranges of the world.

CATHEDRAL LEDGE, NH
This has been described as “the best crag in the country.” Summer or winter there is always something to climb and it is always great. There are introductory top rope climbs to arm-pumping, mind-numbing multipitch mixed routes and many classics in between.

MT. WASHINGTON, NH
The best alpine training grounds in the Northeast. From Halloween to Easter there is always something to climb in one of the Ravines. The winter Presidential range traverse is a must for any aspiring mountaineer.

LAKE WILLOUGHBY, VT
The best ice climbing destination in the lower forty-eight. The steepest multipitch ice around. Rising straight out of the lake and spilling with ice, Mt. Pisgah is always an adventure.

ALPINE CLIMBING
THREE-DAY MOUNTAINEERING COURSE:
Learn the basics of winter mountaineering from self arrest techniques to climbing alpine gulleys and winter camping. This course spends 3 days on Mt Washington camping out for two nights, culminating with a winter ascent of Mt Washington.

PRESIDENTIAL RANGE TRAVERSE
New England’s quintessential winter mountaineering objective. Spend three days traverseing from the north end of the Presidntial range to the south and climb as many of the 8 summits as possible.
