My camera is a little bulky, so on the ascent I only took it out at breaks. Our group shot at the summit was also hurried because of the car people, so another of our group has that shot. I went back...
OK, time to come clean.
I climbed MtW this past weekend as a dad with a group of Boy Scouts from Connecticut. The trip organizer arranged months ago for 3 guides from EMS in No Conway to take our...
Using a map measurement gauge on the AMC map, it looks like the walking distance between the 2 trailheads is about 2 miles. The map shows the roads connecting, but I have not been on Mt Clinton Rd...
Your posts were just what I was looking for. The different perspectives and advice were most helpful. Our weekend experience was great - summited without a problem on Saturday. I will post a trip...

I would like to hear about the experiences of hikers/backpackers who did their first summit of the 4K+ peaks, especially MtW, sometime in the last couple of years. I will be accompanying a group in...
After all the discussion and build-up, I was curious as to the outcome. Did you guys finish your planned route?
Never mind, answered my own question after a Google inquiry.
I'm new to the forum and will be a first-timer later in August. 'Not Without Peril' - is this a publication, web page, other document? How can I access it? BTW, enjoyed Corey's photos.
