The White Mountain Report: Feb 6th, 2025
There's sure enough stuff out there to keep folks engaged right now. [grin] And finally several rounds of snow coming through as well. Punxsutawney Phil says 6 more weeks of winter, and it sure feels as if that's what we have in store. We do need a little more moisture in the system for a refresh, and if we get it maybe we'll have some of that late season hero ice. Man I'd sure dig that. Stay tuned...

Route of the Moment

Barking Dog Crag -  WI 3

This is really an area, not a single climb. There are numerous flows, runnels and pillars in the woods all over the area between this and Black Pudding, none really named. The right side is a great place to take a small group as top ropes can be easily set up either by climbing the large flow or walking around on the right.

Selected Ice Conditions effective February 6, 2025
The ice is plentiful and pretty good right now. And it's in all the normal places, unlike in the past couple of years. That said, we've got a fair amount of snow on the ground and a couple of more rounds coming through. I just heard a report of a large windslab avalanche this afternoon out of Upper Hitchcock! So please remember that even a small avalanche will ruin your day.
Huntington Ravine many alpine options, but beware avalanche
