The time since October 17th, 2016, and now has flown. There’s no other way to put it. Absolutely flown! That “boom” you heard is the result of breaking the speed of sound. It’s been quite the ride, but we’ve had some help along the way, friends, family, supporters, and a group of terrific guides — many of whom have been with it for years, some pretty […]
The general consensus is that ice leaders should stay well below their grade and increase this limit slowly over time. The reason for this is safety. As we’ve heard over the years, taking a leader fall on ice is unacceptable. Leading well means staying in control. There are otherwise too many sticky bits and pointy things to ruin your day. But we’re here to help by […]

We were founded and opened our doors in October of 2016. About five or six months later we were inspired to give back to the trails we love so much. Being there are many ways to show our appreciation — like pouring money into some agency or some fund — we opted to roll up our sleeves and actually perform trail work duties under the supervision […]

We are always looking for ways to improve our service and enhance the experience of our guests. Because of this, and our ability to recognize a good thing, we have partnered with a new North Conway start-up called the White Mountain Sauna Haus. As the name implies they offer two sauna rooms and a few ice tubs for cold soaking. In our eyes we see this […]
SIGN UP BY EMAIL Volunteer to give back to the WMNF mountains and their trails in 2026! For anyone who’s had the privilege of bushwhacking in the White Mountain National Forest (WMNF), you know just how instrumental the trails really are. If you think our trails are rugged, try pushing your way to the top of one of our 4000-footers off trail, amid the “pencil woods” […]
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 […]

This moon is named the “Snow Moon” because in February it is usually colder across the Northern Hemisphere with snowfall in many countries. This […]
