Sure a coronavirus vaccine would be nice, but here’s something to really look forward to in Winter 2021...
Todd Swain has recently wrapped up and sent to the printer his Southern New England Ice Guide!
I know he’s been researching this project meticulously, and I look forward to enjoying the fruits of that labor.

May 19th will always be an important day in my life 🤩 In 2012 I was on the roof of the world, 8848m, Everest. That’s following many months in my bed and holding the walls to be able to walk!! Every night I was visualizing myself on the summit ridge of Everest wearing a red one piece (my favorite color 😁)❤️ The awesome ending is that the people who got me out of my bed with their technology, sponsored me to realize my dream 🏔💫😍
Thank you to Namgyal my Sherpa 🤩✨
As this global crisis hits home, let’s have all the more gratitude for all of our great memories 🙏
I haven’t gotten out on vertical terrain in a while now. I’m missing all my climbing friends and the good times together. Here’s to you all and hoping for a chance to climb again soon! #mammutna, #campusa, #northeastice,#iceclimbing, #climbingismypassion
Dominatrix making a solid attempt to reach the ground on May 12, 2020. #northeastice
Ok.. So does this ascent of ENT gully on May 12 count toward the 2020/2021 ice season or the 2019/2020 ice season? Asking for a friend...

Found photos I thought were lost from my Festiglace visit where verticalmarianne and dennisvanhoek were kind enough to belay and take some pics of me on TR on "Tree of Life". Thanks so much for putting me on this line for some dancing lessons, carl.darveau.
. . .
Missing ice season today, and new ice friends. Was inspiring to watch you all climb. Best regards to all of you and hoping that we can meet again next season.

With the world trying to make sense of all the chaos, businesses and organizations like our national parks are beginning to open back up.
•
Just because the world is trying to grasp some sense of normalcy does not mean the risks are not present anymore.
•
Continue to explore. Continue to seek stillness and solitude in the natural world. Stay as local as you can, practice safe hygiene and keep your distance from other parties so they can do the same.
•
Introducing the new Humans of the Mountains at a Distance series. Where photographs are captured from afar of humans outside adventuring in this grand world we all love to explore.
•
Our natural landscapes provide us with an incredible scale. So much of the reason we are in awe of these wild places is the realization of how small we are in comparison to the huge rock we live on.
•
Keep finding reasons to get up and explore each day.
•
Find Your Wild Place. ✌️💚🏔

We at FI wanted to take moment to shout out adventurejournal . The Journal in print is by far the best, purest, least advertisement-driven outdoor publication out there. Quite simply, AJ puts the reader first, not the advertiser, and the results are spectacular. 98% of their readers renew every year. Since we are just too small to advertise in the mag, we wanted do our part to support this excellent journal.
Subscribe on their site today. 4 Issues per year, only $60, seems like a lot but once you read one, you’ll get it.

Gratitude Post #4: Client Letter
This post series aims to acknowledge those that have made it possible for me to be where I am today with my mountain guiding business, Alpine Logic.
Today I’m including a letter that I received from a client following our very first day meeting and climbing together. I’ll leave the letter anonymous but was genuinely moved to receive such a wonderful and generous expression of gratitude for the time we spend together. And it was an excellent reminder of how powerful shared experience can be.
Hi Silas,
I wanted to send you a note of thanks for yesterday. As my body calms down and reorients from our adventure, I find myself struck by the depth of our conversation and something you shared in it: the realization that your work is meaningful because of the benefit it brings to others. Lots of people want this, and I have not come across many that have arrived at this belief about themselves and what they do. I find it not just extraordinary, but I am also moved because I can recognize the profound value in this belief. This leaves me with a deep sense of gratitude for all you shared with me yesterday. Out of this gratitude, I wanted to share with you with my reflection on the ways in which you and your work have helped me:
You provided the means for physical safety and the technical knowledge for me to get to a place where I could work with my fears, and with my mind in a new and profound way. You provided both an example and the space/encouragement whereby I could explore new ways forward. (Through your presence and through your words.) I felt you there with me, and that in turn gave me the necessary courage to go further. Additionally, you engaged me in conversation, not by just being curious about my experience, but also by being generous enough to share your own. I wanted to thank you again for all that you gave, and let you know more specifically the ways in which this has added to my life! I look forward to another day on the mountain together.
Be well,
Taking advantage of a spring snow storm for some real world conditions training. This pandemic has reminded us to really live every moment.

Gratitude Post #3:
This post series aims to acknowledge those that have made it possible for me to be where I am today with my mountain guiding business, Alpine Logic. Family, friends, mentors, colleagues, and, last but certainly not least, those that trust me day-in, day-out, to challenge them appropriately and bring them back home safely. It’s an honor and privilege to spend so much of my time in the hills with so many amazing people. I look forward to more adventures with you all very soon!
I met charlesofthemountain in the Tetons just after becoming a “pinned” mountain guide in 2011. Charles had signed up for his first outdoor climbing adventure with Exum Mt Guides while on vacation in Jackson Hole. I must have done something right because Charles returned with his whole family just two days later and requested to climb with me again. We had a total blast that day and then again a few days later when they again returned. The following summer Charles returned to the Tetons with galen.schreck and the three of us climbed the Grand Teton. We had a spectacular day and the summit to ourselves. Since then we’ve climbed a lot together, in many different venues. From the Gunks to Katahdin, Mt Washington, ice across New England, and a few trips to the Alps we’ve consistently applied what we know to be a reliable formula for our team’s success: 1) “Classics-only”. 2) Exceptional vistas and photo opportunities. 3) Comfortable accommodations. 4) A dram (or two) of whiskey to finish the day. This formula has proven itself again and again. So why mess with success? At this point Charles is not only a great customer, he’s also a valued friend and business mentor. Even when it’s not in his best interest! I mean, how many customers do you have that consistently tell you to charge them MORE? It’s been a pleasure Charles - here’s to many more!

A couple of folks have entered the closed area and skied Tucks within the past few weeks and lots of folks entering the closed area and skiing the east snowfields of the summit last weekend. There are a few reasons to avoid skiing in Tucks right now. Add to those reasons the slots that are opening at an alarming rate due to the hot weather that the north country is currently experiencing. While moats and undermined snow are a problem in many areas with wind loaded slopes, the slots in Tucks are up to 100' deep at the waterfall holes in the Lip. There have multiple fatalities here over the decades and many, many close calls. The other slots can be deep with overhanging walls that can trap you. Please reconsider skiing anything in the Headwall area, for many reasons, but primarily for your safety.
Shout-out to the ski patrol who helped us so much this year, as every year, but is now hunkering down under travel restrictions and to @joe_soccio and @freehelon who have moved on to work at the Saco Ranger District.

Thank you. It looks like we won't be doing our annual pilgrimage. By any chance are other areas (airplane gulley, etc) open? My apologies if this is a stupid question.
Saw some loons dropping into the great gulf this weekend, the crown looked like if I breathed the wrong way it would give...
They get what they ask for .. if they ski there.... they risk their lives.. so be it.... if you ask me it is suicidal to ski in that area so maybe violators should get psychiatrically examined
Better heade the warnings! Read not without peril to see how extremely dangerous this is!!!
So much for the Whole Live Free or Die...🙄
Don't ride a motorcycle causes potholes in waterfalls and cars trucks busses dummies drunk drivers
I hope your all wearing masks and maintaining 6' between yourselves!!😂😂🤣🤣
Let them go. Go get the bodies in the summer when it's safe.
Is skiing in any other area on the mountain allowed at the moment ?
As usual the government just isn’t satisfied with just monitoring it helping hast to control everything

Fake covid 19 crap propaganda.
In this Sharp End essay from Alpinist 70—which is now available on some newsstands and in our online store—Alpinist Deputy Editor Paula Wright reflects on words by Nan Shepherd while sheltering in place during the COVID-19 pandemic. Wright writes, “To allow yourself extended periods without frenetic motion is itself a cultivated practice. As the mountain would teach: there is value in being still…. In times of crisis, we have the opportunity to recalibrate our relationships with each other, with our activities and with the land.”
You can now read the essay at Alpinist.com: www.alpinist.com/doc/web20s/a70-sharp-end-roaming-in-place
Did you know—only a small fraction of our many long-form stories from the print edition are ever uploaded to Alpinist.com. Be sure to pick up Alpinist 70 for all the goodness: shop.holpublications.com/products/alpinist-magazine-issue-70

Due to the recent forest fire in the park, the Appalachian Trail and Foss and Knowlton, Blueberry Ledges, Abol Pond and Abol Stream trails remain closed.
While we are hoping to reopen the trails in this area as soon as possible, Rangers on fire patrol have identified several hazards that need to be mitigated. This area will remain closed until further notice.
My favorite place is Blueberry Ledges 💕💕
Thanks for keeping our precious gift safe.
Thank you for the update and keeping us safe. Take care!
Is the orange line to boundary of the fire? Thanks
Are back country sites open overnight stays?

*STAFF PICK!
Proceeds from this sale, and any title purchased on our Bookshop page, go directly to The Mountaineer and other independent booksellers.
For our next Staff Pick from The Mountaineer’s “bookshop”, we bring you a literary accomplishment of the highest form... Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, The Overstory, by Richard Powers is a sweeping, impassioned work of activism and resistance that is also a stunning evocation of—and paean to—the natural world. From the roots to the crown and back to the seeds, Richard Powers’s twelfth novel unfolds in concentric rings of interlocking fables that range from antebellum New York to the late twentieth-century Timber Wars of the Pacific Northwest and beyond. There is a world alongside ours—vast, slow, interconnected, resourceful, magnificently inventive, and almost invisible to us. This is the story of a handful of people who learn how to see that world and who are drawn up into its unfolding catastrophe.
“Monumental…The Overstory accomplishes what few living writers from either camp, art or science, could attempt. Using the tools of the story, he pulls readers heart-first into a perspective so much longer-lived and more subtly developed than the human purview that we gain glimpses of a vast, primordial sensibility, while watching our own kind get whittled down to size…A gigantic fable of genuine truths.” —Barbara Kingsolver, New York Times Book Review
“Remarkable…This ambitious novel soars up through the canopy of American literature and remakes the landscape of environmental fiction.” —Ron Charles, Washington Post
