Hello Hello Hello - sorry this is going out late on Thursday, but there is a TON of things going on right now and I am freaking busy. As I sit here at 9pm Thursday night it's 16 degrees outside and once again HOWLING winds! That said, you all deserve your Report this week and so here it is... [wry grin]
Here are some of the pictures from Thursday. For ALL of the pictures and full Conditions Report go to the Ice Conditions page.
Selected Ice Conditions effective January 28, 2026
Overall there is a LOT of ice out there right now. From everything I hear, the better conditions are in the sun where the ice can get plastic. Stuff in the. Shade is hard, brittle, and it's not getting refreshed like we all would like.

MUSICAL NOTES:
On Saturday January 11th I'll be with the Jim McLaughlin Group at Ledge Brewing in Intervale from 6-9. We were there 2 weeks ago and it was epic. I hope to see you there.
VALLEY CYCLING:
The grooming at Rogers Crossing and Marshall is great right now. Trails in Gorham are great as well. Studded tires are a requirement everywhere right now, so be advised.
Mobile Version Of NEClimbs:
Up on one of the Mount Washington Valley's finest crags and want to know what that climb you're looking at is? Or maybe you're on your way up from Boston and want to check out the Ice Report for your upcoming weekend plans. Or more likely, you're at work just want to daydream about your next adventure. Well if you have a smart phone handy, you can get to NEClimbs from anywhere you have cell service. While it doesn't offer every single feature of the site and it's not an "app", in mobile form, it does do a whole lot and is very useful. Here is the live link to the mobile version of NEClimbs:

As I hammered in the last bolt and staggered over the rim, it was not at all clear to me who was the conqueror and who was the conquered. I do recall that El Cap seemed to be in much better condition than I was.
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.
