Possibilities are the North End of Cathedral, Texaco Amphitheater or Frankenstein Cliffs.
Participants will meet at 8:00am for a gear check and to get fitted for mountaineering boots, crampons and ice axe.
Sunday: Option B: One-Day Ascent of Mt. Washington:
Situated at the intersection of three major storm tracks which affect the northern Appalachian Range, and rising from the surrounding lowlands for much of its 6,228 feet, Mt. Washington is known for its extreme weather conditions.
Mt. Washington is the highest peak in New England and the conditions above timberline are as serious as any mountain in North America.
You will learn general mountaineering skills, winter navigation and avalanche awareness in this popular one-day trip.
No previous mountaineering experience is required to register. However, participants should be physically prepared and well equipped for a rigorous all day experience.
You have to start somewhere. This one-day course is a general introduction to waterfall ice climbing and general mountaineering. It is best suited for novice winter climbers. The first half of the day will be spent learning about the equipment, crampons, ice axes, anchors and belays. The second half of the day will be spent climbing to gain a practical appreciation for efficient movement over moderately angled snow and ice terrain. This course is a fun way for groups of friends or a family to learn the basics without having to invest a lot of time and money. We provide all technical gear. Course participants will need to provide a day pack and appropriate clothing.
Price starting at only $225 Option A: Day of Ice Climbing $110 Option C: Skiing/ Snow Boarding at cost of Lift Tickets Departure: Friday, January 9: 5.45 PM Friday night depart from New York to New Hampshire - a 6 hour ride: Accommodations: Amazing Apartment-Hotel/ Resort right at the base of the mountain.
