You ain't top tier till you chop some bolts... Now in New England we have the "Levels of Local" which roughly follows the same scale.

“Anchor” at the top of Black Dike. This winter

“Anchor” at the top of Black Dike. This winter I encountered a climber using this iconic tree as an anchor at the top of The Dike. I can only imagine others have done the same. In fact, I did—a decade ago when the tree wasn’t complete pulp.
.
You could argue that “yeah, but in the winter the roots are frozen in.” To which I’d say:
1) You are very correct.
2) The tree is so dead it has no bark and is the consistency of styrofoam.
3) There is a live 10” birch tree 3’ behind where I’m standing.
.
A few more pushes will put this tree down. A part of me thinks it’s a good idea, preventing future error, but I didn’t want to see this old icon go.
.
Here’s to many Dike/Hassigs top-outs in the ice season ahead. And here’s to mindful selection of anchors!

karstendelap and I both supply you with #techtips to help you grow as a climber. His are usually about more technical rope skills, I like to cover less traditional techniques. .

An actual conversation my homie had with me: “We’re going to climb Thin Air again. We don’t need to bring the guidebook, four liters of water, three extra layers and a tagline. I’ll just throw some food in my pocket. Also, learn to lead with a backpack on.” .

Do you have a homie like this? .

On Tuesday, ne_ice_conditions lost one of our founding members. Charlie Proctor, the.proctopus, was killed when he was hit by a car on his bike in Arlington, MA. Charlie’s first trad climb and first multipitch was the W-G, in 2016. That winter he climbed his first ice: Dracula, in the rain. The next year he climbed Omega, and the next year he climbed the Cassin Ridge. His psyche was indomitable and he was the kindest, most thoughtful man you can possibly imagine. #neiceconditions exists because of him. He was almost 28 years old. Be careful out there.

amga1979 Tech tip Thursday. Sometimes your security as a climber doesn’t come in the protection you have placed, sometimes it comes in your ability to not fall. Just don’t take the ‘ol Whitehorse cheese grater.

Y’all real talk though, one time I was walking along the base of Whitehorse and the wizard himself chauvinguides was walking up the slabs, bunny hopping to prove that he didn’t need his hands. That dude has style. . . .

Good News: The interface for collecting goggles ha

Good News: The interface for collecting goggles has gotten much more user-friendly (see website below). Bad News: The demand is high and growing.

If you're reading an adventurespiritguides IG post, then you're an outdoor enthusiast. And, if you're an outdoor enthusiast, then you probably have goggles and/or know a lot of people who have goggles. And some of those goggles are probably just taking up space in your drawer.

Do consider donating your goggles. And help get the word out via your social channels.

I am signed up as a drop-off site. Message me for address details.

Be well everyone!
