October Flight

I took a scenic flight over the North Conway, NH area on October 13, 2010. I bid on and won this flight during a silent auction at a Kismet Rock Foundation fundraising event.

2010 New Hampshire Magazine It List

In a early October, I photographed the Mount Washington Observatory’s Executive Director, Scot Henley, for the 2010 New Hampshire Magazine It List. The magazine describes the list as “an annual check on that biological infrastructure, the ever-changing human geography of the Granite State. Here are 16 people who have become, at least for now, New Hampshire’s face, heart, mind and imagination.

The Beast

You probably won’t find this technique in a basic rock climbing book. Erik Eisele stashing his helmet to facilitate upward progress in The Beast (5.11+) chimney on Cathedral Ledge in New Hampshire. The second photo gives a better perspective of the route.

Mountaineer’s Route

This route drops directly off the summit of Mount Webster and I’ve heard it called the Mountaineer’s Route. I’ve always looked up when driving through Crawford Notch and wondered if it would ever get enough snow to ski. A big snow storm with east winds answered that question.
