Ice! Autumn’s tinge has just hit the air and we should seize, embrace it fully, and rock on. It also means that ice is on the way. What a season last one was! Here’s a few highlights from mine, a mix of favorite climbs and new times exploring and expanding my own base. Such is the beauty of ice—an ephemeral medium with endless challenges.
I’ve still got some availability for climbers looking to build their WI4-5 skills. Do connect if you’d like to build together.
…And don’t forget that other lovely frozen water medium, snow! I’ll post a few 2022 highlights to stoke the 2023 fire soon.

Ice climbers are loco. 🧊⛏

Leaving the tree line in Franconia Notch in winter you cross over into another world of rock, snow and ice. Continue up the talus field and you reach the base of an incredible these incredible walls. 🏔❄️
Rainy rest days have me looking forward to the seasons ahead. 🧊⛏

There’s still plenty of rock to be climbed and a whole lot of warm weather left. But the ice and access to it here in the northeast is a beautiful thing. And the community that surrounds it in the northeast is even better.
•
Start hanging on those tools! And let’s get out ice climbing.
•
I am stoked one doing more climbing photography this fall and winter and focusing my energy back on the love of the craft.
•
The last couple of years I have put a lot of pressure on myself to get back to a certain level of climbing, and it’s sucked the joy out of what I love doing. This isn’t a sport or a craft that you reach a certain point and you “win” or are “done”. It’s a culture and a craft of movement over difficult and scary terrain and how to do so safely and effectively that is ever-improving.
•
You’re always growing as a climber. Just as we should always be growing as people.
•
Here’s to hoping the water runs and the ice grows fat this coming winter. ❄️

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.

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 […]
