Early April was the prime spring skiing period on Mount Washington in 2011. The snowpack was solid and the weather was stable before a significant meltdown. I only had one spring skiing day on Mount Washington this year, but made it count with a descent of Diagonal Gully in Huntington Ravine (a route I’ve never been on). Eric Pederson joined me and we timed it perfectly; the snow was heavier powder that was just about to turn into cement.

Fang (L) and the Bragg Pheasant (R) at Frankenstein Cliffs in Crawford Notch, New Hampshire on December 11, 2010. These routes are now gone after the most recent round of rain and above freezing temperatures, but will hopefully reform. Climbers Sarah Garlick (near top of route) and Matt McCormick (belaying at top) are on the Bragg Pheasant.
Photo Details: Canon 5D w/ 70-200mm f/2.8 IS @ 165mm, 1/500s @ f/4 and ISO 200.

November is often a good time to travel out of New Hampshire because it’s getting too cold to rock climb, it’s not cold enough for consistent ice climbing, and the snowpack is too low for skiing. Here are a few photos from a personal climbing trip I took to Zion National Park and Red Rock National Conservation Area.
