Avalanche Lake, New York
April 9, 2018
“My climbing partner, Chad and I had an incredible day yesterday, April 9th at Avalanche Lake! We climbed three routes. We warmed up on “Warm Up” I then lead “The Last Hurrah” and Chad lead the spectacular, “Gold Rush of 96”, arguably the best route in the Adirondacks! For both of us, the best ice climbing day in the park we have ever experienced. A fantastic day with my great friend and climbing partner!”

Wow!! Days like this don’t come along often

“As the first mountain I summited, I find myself continually drawn to Mt. Baker in person and in my paintings. This mountain and the mentors I met exploring its glaciers taught me how art can be a conduit between people and place. After bouncing around the outdoor industry for four years I made the leap to work in the creative space full time as a writer and artist.” [Image] Claire Giordano @claireswanderings #mtbaker
This week as part of the #alpinistcommunityproject, we're sharing work from Claire Giordano, an artist, hiker, and mountaineer based near Seattle, Washington. She said her goal is to “forge connections between people and place by imbuing my paintings with observations of nature and my emotional response to it. I hope to inspire curiosity, reflection, and a recognition of the inherent value of our wild spaces.” Visit her website to learn more about her work: www.claireswanderings.com.
This is her third post.

A Win in the Mount Washington Valley

Access Fund, Upper Saco Valley Land Trust, and Friends of the Ledges are pleased to announce the successful acquisition of nine acres of land critical forThis mountain is not static! From what we can tell, this slide just west of Avalanche slide and Pamola peak on the south side of the Knife Edge slid anew last Saturday night (9/8). No trails were impacted.
Thanks to MFS for the images. Seems likely that the freeze-thaw action of those two cold nights last weekend contributed.
Nice pictures
If a rock slides on a mountain and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?
A wonderful mountain. I hope to return and cross the knife edge again someday.....
Looks like a potential ski run now
We are going to be at Daicey Pond on the 25th. Wonder if there will be snow on the mountain then?...cc
Once again more pics that could of been done by drone and not cost a few thousand in fuel cost for the same pics. O wait no could of got way better shot by drone. Dont really understand why they arnt used more in misson like search and rescue, fire look out and simple stuff like this. They can be used for alot of good.
Knifes Edge. Vicious! If you have not crossed it, I highly recommend climbing Baxter and crossing the knifes edge. Real deal
Nice! I heard a small slide come down one time, and saw the dust from over on Hamlin Ridge. It's always very cool (so long as nobody gets hurt).
Thank you to Judy Pelletier and hubby at Summit farms for reporting it!!!
Definitely sobering. Slides can happen at any time.
Be careful and Enjoy Eric Campbell, Michael Starks, Kat, and Bill.
Just curious, is the granite tower still standing at upper south branch pond?
Wow. Wonder if people were on the trail.
Ryan Shanley pretty neat
Who’s gonna get it first...
