Join Us on an Epic Mountain Adventure! Hike/Climb Mt Washington with Redline Guiding. Stay Overnight, Safe and Sound in the Observatory! Extreme weather, mountain adventure, full immersion in the excitement, this trip has it all. We’re stoked to finally offer this very limited event. Stay on the summit of New England’s highest peak, one of the the world’s most gnarly mountains thanks to its extreme weather […]
The Tyrolean traverse utilizes a fixed line over extreme terrain like a steep gorge or a raging, impossible-to-cross river. Using a fixed line a person wearing a climbing harness clips themselves to the rope — along with their pack — and pulls themselves with their gear in tow, hand-over-hand. If done right it isn’t too difficult, scary, or awkward, and it may be aided with another […]
Porterers of dreams. Your imagination coupled with our local knowledge and brute strength can make some pretty cool things happen. Examples might include helping someone enjoy a less-effort backpacking experience, or helping someone avoid carrying a lot of extra weight on particularly technical or worrisome terrain. Expect to hear more about this service in action very soon. Right now, however, we just helped one couple — […]
A guest recently came to us with a request that fell outside of the set educational programs we offer. For us this is no problem, though, as we are custom outfitters who default to the one-on-one experience. So, when someone wants something very similar to our Hiking Intro course but one not starting at the ground floor, so to speak, and to further have the lesson […]
A large hiking group based out of Rhode Island signed up to learn some basic mountaineering skills with us. And it almost happened exactly as scheduled. But then the weather that we needed wasn’t the weather we had as we were nearing the time of our December class. The idea of a postponement was floated, but it was still wait-and-see. A good call since you know […]
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. […]
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 […]
Taking stock of what we offer, in who we are, and who we serve, we realize we’re brimming with an unlimited source of new adventures right here in New Hampshire. Sure, we offer all the staple activities of the guiding industry, stuff like hiking/snowshoeing, mountaineering, ice climbing, rock climbing, and backcountry skiing, but we also offer so much more. Our guides possess a sense of spirit […]
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 […]
Warmth in the winter is best found from within. If you manage to do that, then you’ll realize it’s easy to stay warm in the winter. So how do you manage it? Well, you get out there and be active in it. That’s what AAA suggests in this Redline Guiding-inclusive article: “Warm up to these 10 fun outdoor winter activities.” Thanks for telling people about us, […]
