A somewhat experienced family of three from Barcelona (Spain) came to us with a two-fold plan. The first part was to hike up Mt Pierce. A warm up and intro to New Hampshire’s mountains. The second part was, for two members, to tackle an entry-level mountaineering route on Mt Washington. On lead for these two trips was Redline Guide Debra McCown. The following photos and words […]
Join Us for a Nighttime Full Moon Snowshoe Hike The second full moon of 2026 — also known as the Snow Moon — will appear on Sunday, February 1st, 2026 and we’ve decided to lead a moonlight snowshoe hike for this event. This moon is named the “Snow Moon” because in February it is usually colder across the Northern Hemisphere with snowfall in many countries. This […]

UPDATE: This event if full. We will start a waitlist for new sign-ups if someone drops or for early contact next year! Imagine hiking Mt Washington in the winter and having someone open a frozen door and inviting you inside when you arrive at the summit — instead of having to rush off because it’s getting cold during a 10-15 minute break. Further, let’s imagine they […]

We accomplish this in various ways. For example, we seize upon teachable moments on trail and at the crag, whenever it makes sense — and of course if our guests are open to it. We also, as you […]
The title of this blog post was an observation made by Redline Guide Debra McCown (see below for the full statement). We will add that it doesn’t hurt that it’s absolutely gorgeous out there doing a Z-Bonds Traverse at this time of year! A great group of ladies enjoyed two heavenly days of hiking through colorful leaves and sunshine views — and checked off Zealand and […]
