To The Many Friends of Harvard Cabin, Seasons Greetings! The cabin is open for another season. The cabin has been a busy place this Fall. Beginning in August with a small gathering brought together by Ted Carman, HMC President 1962-1963 and prime mover in the construction of Harvard Cabin, the club began to address a few […]

I climbed the main drainage up the center of Ammonoosuc Ravine today (December 1st). Just before Gem Pool, I left the trail and dipped into the river.
The footing was a bit tricky following the river because it hadn’t entirely froze and I was breaking through the thin ice at places.. but before long I was looking up at a giant icy gully
Right now, the Department of Energy is gathering information in order to decide if the current plan for the Northern Pass transmission line is consistent with the public interest. It’s a big job and there are a lot of elements that will inform the final decision.
But, there’s one important factor that might not even be considered if people like you and me don’t speak up: the visual impact.
The All Mountain Tool is a combination of the best elements from the Cassin X-Dry, X-Ice and X-Alp tools (aggressive shaft curve, hammer head, double-pommel grip, large spike) with an upgrade to the All Mountain Pick that optimizes the tool for Awax-like performance. To Awax lovers, we can say sincerely that the new X-All Mountain Tool is the new Awax. For climbers who have experienced the frustrations of pick bounce, ice bashing and shoulder fatigue common with the more aggressive mixed tools, we encourage you to swing the new All Mountain Tool.

It was a great weekend for ice climbing up on the “Rock Pile”. NEice team members found plenty of early season ice. Team member Courtney Ley and partner Joel Dashnaw reported thick ice on Pinnacle Gully. Courtney said “it was taking 16cm screws” and the water flow was not bad at all. Look for her photos here. Team Member Emilie […]
I watched as the stuck rope slithered away from me. I suddenly felt very alone. An avid reader of history, I should have known better: don’t try to attack Russia in the wintertime, and certainly don’t rope-solo the Black Dike. Especially in November.
We found good conditions throughout with plenty of ice on the final pitch.
“The problem if you take reviewing gear seriously is the more you know, the more you realize how much you really don’t know. Which is OK, since damn few others know much when it comes to comparisons.”
