This is not one of our official Adventure or Other Services offerings, but it may be in the very near future as Redline Guiding teams up with a dedicated Mt Washington Valley Yogi, Christie Ann Rochette. In the meantime, enjoy this video about this latest hike yoga/meditation event. The group was led and videographed by Redline Guide Mike Cherim. Great job, Christie and crew… Thanks for […]
We recently ran a two-day Wilderness Navigation class for a mother-daughter team. Nothing unusual there, except for one thing: we rarely ever make blog posts about our classes due to a few factors, but this time, seemingly to the amusement of our guests, we made a whole 22:33 motion picture about their experience. Check it out (contains some reminders for past students)… Great job everyone!
We are sometimes asked to do things that, for us, are outside the norm. If we feel we can deliver to our usual and now expected level of service, however, we try. For example, we’ve twice offered a convenient porter service setting up someone’s backpacking camp for them so they didn’t have to so they could better enjoy the hike. Then there was that time we […]
We recently announced that we were going to try something new: A Yoga and Meditation Sunrise (with some delicious hot tea served, oh yes). Well, it happened, we did it, and it was well received and, we feel, a success. This trip was led by our newest Redline Guide Samantha Fairfield. Yoga and mediation are specialties of Sam’s, so to speak, so this offering was a […]
We just completed a private two-day wilderness navigation class with two students. Day one was a virtual half/live half — it works so well doing it this way. And day two was a more extreme backcountry test. The class was led on days one and two by Redline Guides Mike Cherim and Ken Hodges, respectively. There’s not much more to tell that the photos won’t cover. […]
Here’s an idea we came up with for Memorial Day weekend: Individuals, couples, or families can head up to the Mt Washington Valley on Saturday May 29th, taking their time, enjoying the ride. Once they arrive they can check in to one of the numerous hotels in the area (call us for a recommendation). The rest of the afternoon is spent shopping, checking out some local […]
As many past guests know, we are big on custom work, working closely with individuals and private groups, helping folks with specific goals in mind. Often times these focused classes are what we might call one-offs meaning that the course content or specialized instruction, while perfectly tailored for the guest it was meant for, might lack broad appeal. Occasionally, however, these custom courses can be shaped […]
NOTE: These 2021 classes have all sold out. If new seats open we will make an announcement. We’re pleased to announce another cooperative effort between ourselves here at Redline Guiding and Rockhopper Races LLC. For those who don’t know Rockhopper Races, they’re the ones bringing professionally-organized mountain racing to the White Mountain National Forest. The owner, Kristina Folcik, has guided for us and remains a friend. […]
We recently upgraded our offerings to include ice climbing — at least an ice climbing intro course for the time being — and the past three days saw Redline Guide Ryan McGuire out there testing the ebb and flow of our new offering and showing a couple of guests some tiring but rewarding type-two fun. What follows is a short video (10:30) put together from footage […]
We’re pleased to finally announce that a number of 2021 trip dates for Mt Baker (10,781′) in the North Cascades (located in Washington State) are now available for adventurers among us. This is a great next step for some of our guests. Dates range from May to September, and trip durations range from three-days to five — all available with the help of our friends out […]
Our popular Sunshields (a brand of Buff) sold out so we ordered some more. Based on demand last year, we have two colors back in stock: red and gray. The red seems to be the most popular. Order yours today with the form below. These one-size-fits-all-teens-to-adults essential articles of clothing can be used in myriad ways by hikers, climbers, skiers, and others, from hat to balaclava, […]
It’s rare we write about our educational classes. In a way, unlike our adventures, there’s little to tell. Aside from our guests, and perhaps our locations, there is little unique about the classes, one seemingly just like the one before it. That said, because this is naturally a slower, shoulder-season time for us, we wanted to at least post a few photos of today’s Camp Craft […]
