We just finished our Fourth Annual Trails Day and it was again a huge success. This year, under the leadership of the US Forest Service, Saco District, we preformed what was probably our heaviest workout as volunteers. Organizers and supporters for this event, besides us and the USFS, were the NH Trail Workers Group, Rockhopper Races, and Tuckerman Brewing. Redline Guides present were Mike Cherim, Ken […]
We’re pleased to announce we have taken on yet another guide. Redline Guide Samantha Fairfield is new to guiding as a career but has long maintained a strong desire to guide and to do so with Redline Guiding in particular. Her applying twice, the second time with a wilderness first responder (WFR) certifications added to her credentials, was a sure testament to her ambition and enthusiasm. […]
A thoroughly enjoyable piece penned by Redline Guide Mike Maciel. In 2019 I stepped away from a successful sixteen year career in the corporate world of insurance to pursue things that were more meaningful to me. For most of my tenure, the money I earned in exchange for my time had helped me to achieve my goals and build a great life. Eventually though, the ends […]
Furthering his education, Redline Guide Ryan McGuire just attended an “Avy Two” course from the American Institute for Avalanche Research and Education (AIARE). This course is part of a progression Ryan began with “Avy One” followed by an “Avy Rescue” course. In a nod to old friends, the course was taught by David Lottmann, Northeast Alpine Start, and hosted by Corey Fitzgerald and company at Northeast […]
Our newest Redline Guide Will Murphy will finally be able to really get out there in a big way as a member of the team. We were just waiting on him to earn a wilderness medical certification. And now he has. Over the past eight days Will has been thrown into the world of wilderness medicine at SOLO‘s Tasker Hill campus in Madison, NH. There he […]
We’re pleased to announce that Will Murphy has joined Redline Guiding’s family of guides. We’ve known Will for a while through our volunteer association in Search and Rescue and we know he has the right temperament and personality: a great mix of hard and soft skills. And a love of the mountains. Will just needs to get his medical certifications in order, earning his WFR — […]
It’s happened before. One minute they’re guiding, living a bachelor’s dream life out of their van, the next minute they getting swept off their feet. It stands to reason, though, when you have a sharp looking crew like our team of guides. This time at the altar was Redline Guide Álvaro Marques, and with him his lovely now-wife, Suzy. Like many couples this year, 2020 has […]
Redline Guide Ryan Mcguire has been busy this fall with his professional development becoming an Apprentice Alpine Guide under the auspices of the American Mountain Guide Association (AMGA). For Ryan’s personal and professional aspirations in the area of high altitude mountaineering, this is an ideal route for him to take. This certification, once received, will assure anyone that he is held against an incredibly thorough international […]
We love it when our guides earn their Wilderness First Responder (WFR) credentials in backcountry medicine. That way they can perform a proper backcountry medical response should it ever be required. That’s what Redline Guide Deb Dunn just did, she re-certified after some time away from it. We’re here to help her celebrate. Deb traveled to Vermont for this SOLO class, but she told us it […]
We’re stoked to announce that we have received Trip Advisor’s “Traveler’s Choice Award” for 2020. Apparently this year isn’t all bad. According to Trip Advisor, this award means that Redline Guiding is the among the Top 10% of “Attractions” worldwide. (Lookout Disney World, we’re for gunning for your spot.) In all seriousness, this means that our guests love us, and we love them right back. It […]
We officiated up to three weddings in a single day last year — yes, we do weddings. We expect more of the same this year and as such have asked Redline Guide Jeffrey Shutak if he would apply to become a N.H. Justice of the Peace. He agreed, and now there are two of us. Thus, as the state puts it, let it be known… To […]
It’s hard to keep up with all the cool things our guides do, but some things do stand out… Arlette Laan Awarded #1 Fastest Known Time of the Year (FKTOY), Female Hiking a diettissima, at least here in the White Mountain National Forest, refers to hiking all 48 of the 4000-footers in one continuous hike. This can be done supported (people can help), self-supported (you stash […]
