Arlette Laan is the First Woman to Hike All 11 of the National Scenic Trails We’re told to believe that a single photo is worth a thousand words. And often that statement is quite true indeed. At other times, however, the opposite statement contains the kernel of truth. Sometimes a photo tells us very little. Sometimes a photo needs a thousand words — or more — […]
We often thank our guests for choosing Redline Guiding. Now it seems that’s caught on as we just received the 2022 Travelers’ Choice Award from Trip Advisor. It’s thanks to you, our guests, for leaving positive ratings and reviews — for which, you should know, we are extremely grateful — and it’s also thanks to you, our awesome team of guides, for giving our guests something […]
Once Again We’re Giving Back to the Mountain Trails we Love so Much by Literally Rolling Up Our Sleeves and Working on Them! Wanna Help?
Here are the details you’ll want and need for the festival… The Mt Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce’s 2022 White Mountains Outdoor, Heath, and Wellness Fest is scheduled for June 11th from 10-3 in Schouler Park located in the heart of the North Conway Village (right in front on the Conway Scenic Railroad). This outdoor recreation, health and wellness festival encourages fitness, fun, and well-being in […]
When we talk about the Hillary Step, we mean THE Hillary Step! A natural progression might look something like this: 1. Conquer Mt Willard, cross the street to 2. Bag Mt Washington, then travel to the other side of the planet to 3. Grab the 29,032′ Mt Everest next. That’s our thinking anyway. It’s more than just thinking, actually, as we already made it up there […]
Last year we added a Rock Climbing Intro course to our selection of Educational offerings. We did this with the idea of offering full-on Rock Climbing Adventures the following year. And that is where we’re at right now! Here it is, 2022, one year later, and we’re wicked psyched to finally complete our current lineup of Adventure options with the addition of this latest high-revving offering. […]
We can barely keep up with all that our Redline Guides do. Between the trips and adventures they lead, the training they put themselves through, and all that they do on their days off recreating, it’s sometimes a little mind blowing and always impressive, at the very least. This post marks yet another accomplishment. This time it’s Redline Guide Arlette Laan… a.k.a. Apple Pie or just […]
This one episode of Windows to the Wild epitomizes who we are — it exposes our core. This will make our third appearance on Windows to the Wild (see footnote), a staple of the New Hampshire Public Broadcasting Station (NHPBS), hosted by the beloved Willem Lange. And here it is, without further ado: Windows to the Wild: Sectional Hiker – Season 17, Episode 4 » This […]
Do you have plans to climb a big glaciated peak this year? If yes, this special joinable Two-Day Glacier Skills/Crevasse Rescue course is for you. These skills, like many we use in the mountains, are highly perishable. If not put to use regularly, you can lose them. So whether this is your first time or you’re looking for a refresher, you’ll get some terrific instruction from […]
We had a lot going on this past weekend. It began with a postponement of a Backcountry Ski Tour because… well, no snow. It also ended with a postponement of an Ice Climbing Intro because… well, too much snow (driving considerations forced the change). And snow, the lack or abundance thereof, only started the challenges. The forecast alpine winds and bitter temperatures added to the logistical […]
We made an icon, as we do for all our offerings. You can see it inset to the right. It has jagged, pointy little things on it called mountains. This is meaningful as being more than mere art or decoration as it is indicative of where you’re headed after graduating this 5- to 10-day Advanced Alpine Skills program. By design, this new and exciting program is […]
Every now and then we like to turn the spotlight onto one of our guides, asking them three questions. In doing so helping our guests and our readers get to know them better. We selected Redline Guide Will Murphy for this installment because of feedback we received over the summer. One common thread in the observations made by our guests was that Will seems completely at […]
