Mahoosic Notch, Maine

Off the Beaten Trail

by James Paradis

MahoosucNotchFeb14-2010Over the past several years, Dan Cousins, Dave Custer, Jim Paradis, and Susan Ruff have extensively explored the ice climbing in Mahoosic Notch on the Appalachian Trail at the border of New Hampshire and Maine and climbed some 40 pitches of ice there. We find the ambiance in Mahoosic Notch in winter conditions to be unique in its wildness and big mountain scale and hope that the area will continue to foster a sense of adventure in those who choose to make the considerable effort to get there.

    Just a note to say that the little ice guide to Mahoosuc Notch was prepared by Dave Custer, not by me. Don’t want to get in trouble with my trusty leadman/belayer. Jim
