Summer Alpine Climbs in New Hampshire

I am looking at going to New Hampshire this summer for climbing some 48ers by alpine style routes. Since it may be some months (hopefully not years) until I can return, so I'd like to climb some peaks via some of the more beautiful ways possible. Can anyone lend any information on these routes? I'm used to the Adirondack slides and I would like to do something along those lines.

-Mt Lincoln via the route known as "High and Dry" - I have some information on this route but not as much as I would like. Easy Fifth, maybe?

-Huntington Ravine gully climbs - I have some knowledge of Central Gully (5.4) from its listing here but I was wondering about some of the other gullies and the state they would be in. I am aware of the Pinnacle Buttress and Henderson Ridge climbs too, but I'm interested in the other gully climbs specifically.

-Mt Webster via the Green Chasm. Good info on the winter climb which lists it as 5.6 , but I was wondering if it has different available lines of lower difficulty so that it can be more easily soloed in the summer. It just looks so awesome there!

Any other suggestions along these lines would be greatly appreciated! Maybe Shoestring Gully or Buttress on Webster or Great Gully in Kings Ravine? Thanks!

There's not a lot. Kings ravine and shoe string in the summer are just hikes. Shoestring is not a place I would go. The two areas that come to mind in my head having grown up in the northeast are Mt. Washington and Katadin. There are 4th class scrambles in both places that fall off of designated hiking trails. Be sure to follow posted regulations as hiking off of trails in the "Alpine zone" is generally not allowed. 5th class rock climbing is roped climbing. Central gully and pinnacle buttress on Mt. Washington are examples of 5th class climbing that a competent climber could probably solo comfortably. Can't speak much to Katahdin but there's a lot of similar style rock out there with many established long yet moderate choss routes.

Bunch of good stuff on Katahdin as well, i.e. the Armadillo.

I'm aware of climbing in BSP on Katahdin, but logistically its easier to go to New Hampshire this summer (12 hr drive to Katahdin vs 4-5 hr drive to the Whites, among other things). I was thinking of booking a few days or a week in like January ahead of time to reserve a spot for July or August in the coming years to go out on a few routes with a more relaxed pace on Katahdin. Thanks for the suggestions, but I'm really only interested in New Hampshire right now.

The only real slide style climbing I know of is up north of milan...good stuff.

As said above, i would stay out of a lot of the gullies in summer,,just to loose

If you're looking for a partner or these adventures I'm more than willing. Ill put in the time to research and get plans together. I live in southern NH and lots of these are on my list to do as well.

Climbed webster via central couloir last summer. Fun bushwack with a little bit of easy climbing. Got to check out how all the gullies looked in the summer too.

Thanks for all the information. I was hoping to hear about High and Dry the most though. Anyone?

Pinnacle on mt washington, or as john said n.percy , above milan, there are some easy slabs on webster on the north end

I skied High and Dry a few years back. The start of the gully/stream is tight and filled with boulders that may not be that fun to hike through. The upper part of the slide would be 4th class scrambling. All and all it would probably make for an interesting outing.

if you want to rock hop, go out to the captain. It's pretty long approach anyway and if you want to go to the top, stay right for hundreds if feet of class 3/4 terrain

Awesome situation on top and a small lake
