Three cheers for the one-and-only Rich Palatino! In addition to being the longest-serving caretaker in Harvard Cabin's history, he was instrumental in establishing the advisory board that now oversees cabin operations. As Rich turns toward new life adventures, let's take a moment to admire all that he's accomplished. Thanks Rich! #mountwashington #harvardcabin

In March 2022, Jon Nicolodi was able to free two old aid routes as mixed climbs: Across the Great Divide (M8 R, 5 pitches, 550’) on Cannon Cliff, and the Shurayev-Mirkina-Dynkin Route (aka “The Resistance,” M10, 5 pitches, 360’) on Agiocochook (Mt. Washington). Both routes involved runout climbing and some of the hardest drytooling in the state. He’s got plenty more plans for next season, but for now, he laughs, “I’m ready for some rock climbing.”

A magnificent ice flow indeed. This line has me motivated for next year. It is isolated, technical and best of all, in New England. Here’s to the beast of the east which, believe it or not, is mostly lurking above the low cloud ceiling.

Climbers ascending Odells Gully Left in Huntington Ravine early season a couple winters back. The ravines deep in the notches of New Hampshire offer incredible scale when hiking through them and climbing in them. 🏔🧊⛏
Great day up Pinnacle Gulley. 0 wind and the route was in great condition.

The mountains in these notches have the ability to capture clouds and fog and make the approaches to climbs look as if you are walking up into an unknown world or another dimension. And sometimes you sort of are.

Cannon Cliff is the big wall of the northeast; a looming 800 feet of granite stone on the side of 4,080 foot Cannon Mountain in Franconia Notch. The White Mountains of New Hampshire hold some incredible granite.
•
To the climbers eye, the geologic feature that is Cannon Cliff is both incredibly intriguing and dangerous. This slab is peeling and flaking away every year, but every year it’s beautiful features pull climbers from around the region to climb it and have their own adventures.

Find your own adventure and make safe choices out there!

📸: An early season day approaching into the fog to climb the ice that freezes on this cliff in the winter season. 🧊⛏
Newfoundland Highlights: Still processing the wild adventure that was our last 12 days in Newfoundland. Such a wild and rugged land, populated with the weirdest ice I've ever seen and the friendliest folks you can imagine. There is so much I could say about the place, but with the idea that "A picture is worth a thousand words", I'll share a few photos and provide a caption for a bit of context. Any photos of me are compliments of "pro-amateur" photographer 📸 taylor.luneau
P1: High above Barrens Wall. Our snowmobile guide Rick set us up with his friend Lamont and sleuthed out a path practically right up to the wall, leaving us time to climb this blue beauty after wrapping up "Wind & Water".
P2: This was a variation on "Between Wind & Water". We were the third party to ascent this wild route and may be the first party to do this very scenic finishing pitch, with the vast North Atlantic stretching out in the distance.
P3: Early morning, with the sun rising between the vertiginous fjord walls. Going up to Newfoundland, I knew the size of the routes (most are at least 1000') so I figured the place couldn't be flat. Still, I was amazed at the rugged relief of the western part of the island. This is up near Parsons Pond, with Rick piloting the ski-doo in his trademark muskrat hat.
P4: We'd gone up to Bakers Brook Pond looking for "Drop of the Pure". We headed up to the most obvious ice flow, but were eyeing an amazing streak of ice on a clean rock face further up the valley. Turns out that was "Drop"--but we may have also nabbed another first ascent. If it is indeed and FA, I'm calling it "Drop of the Ice", as an ice chunk on the climb resulted in two stitches.
P5: This is "Drop of the Ice"--or it is some other climb that some other party did long ago. Such is the way in Newfoundland. No guidebook and very little on the record.
P6: We climbed many wild pitches up there, but this was the hardest. From below, it looked like the pitch eased after this delicate column, but the curtain just went on and on. Strong work from Taylor.
Out of space here—Captions continue in comments.
Good morning

Out stretching our legs today, still some ice out there. It actually might get a bit better with the cold coming in this next few days. Here’s Grace high on a rarely journeyed to gem. #campcassin #campusa #camp_usa #iceclimbing #camp1889

Featured Photos – ADK Mountainfest 2017
We had a great time at the 21st ADK Mountainfest. We delivered some hot soup to the clinics, did some climbing and Solo had a good flight over “Cheese and Crackers” at Chapel Pond. Here are a few of the images I captured during my travels at this event. Many thanks to The Mountaineer , Rock and River , […]
Central Buttress – Mt. Washington NH
Just thought I’d fire a cool shot your way to get the early season psych up. That’s a new route on Central Buttress that Ryan Driscoll starting working on last year. He, Michael Wejchert and I went up there yesterday (12-4-16) and had another go. Ryan is killing it. We all took turns getting the […]
