I was able to get out to the gym and grocery store this morning, but it's been raining cats & dogs off and on all afternoon. There are occasional pop-up flood warnings coming across my phone so I don't know what to think. Just when I think we are headed into a real summer, this happens. Let's hope fall is better...
CLIMBING GEAR RECALL:

Selected Ice Conditions effective November 27, 2025
There is minimal snow up in Crawford Notch. The pictures below are from Wednesday. While I drove through the notch today, I didn't bring a camera. However there is substantially less ice up there than there was yesterday. Mid day Wednesday it was 46 degrees at the Dry River Campground and 41 at the Highland Center. It rained a bit overnight as well. Today it was 40 at the Center! I have seen some great pictures of Pinnacle Gully from earlier in the week, but none from yesterday or today. That said, things will most certainly get better as the weekend goes on.

SHAMELESS MUSICAL PLUG::
July is a full slate of gigs and next week starts it all off. Private party on Tuesday the 4th with Jim McLaughlin Group, Wednesday 5:30-7:30 again with Jim at the Saco River Brewing Company in Fryeburg, one more with Jim & the boyz at Ledge Brewing Company in Intervale and then my steady bebop/funk jazz gig on the pier at Weirs beach on Sunday the 16th 6-9.
INSTANT BUG REPORT - 3:
The bug status totally depends on when and where you are. Deep woods it's one thing, up on the cliff or out cruising on the bike it's another. The downhill trails at Cranmore or in the Hurricane Zone have been minimal, but standing around at the base of Cathedral or over at Moose Brook it's a whole another thing. Just leave the bug dope in the pack friends. You will be happier...
VALLEY CYCLING:
I rode a bunch of downhill at Cranmore this week and it was great, in spite of the rains. Tuesday I rode from the top of the chair lift across the mountain to the Kettle Korn connector to Tornado. The traverse road has been graded and was in good shape and other than a few rocks here & there Tornado was great.

Climbing is a very dangerous sport. You can get hurt or even kill yourself. When you go climbing, you do so of your own free will. Everything on this site is to be taken with a grain of salt. Don't blame us if you get up some totally heinous route, in over your head and fall and hurt yourself.
