Vermont / New Hampshire ice climbing partners

zac I'm down to come up and get on anything if you want to climb sunday, molly's on vaca for about two weeks!

You guys seem like a great group and I'd love to get out and climb with anybody. I can't make it this Sunday, already have family plans. My cell is 6038520404 if anybody is looking for a partner either for rock or (not too far away) ice.

If anybody is around tomorrow morning, I will be at Rumney with a friend. Text if you want to join - 603-989-2202

Should be there from 8:30-1, probably just down in the meadows.

Aww, I would have been there Luke! But then I got distracted by Tinder. Now my fingers are tired from swiping.

To bad, I slayed 5.5 trad and a sandbagged 5.4 sport route. It was intense.

Anybody want to join me in the gunks on the 17th for some more 'real-climbers-solo-this-shit' routes?

Luke did you get into the wasps on BR? that decent ledge halfway up? As I gained it I pissed of a nest of about 6 wasps and had 3-4 of them fighting and charging me for about 5+ minutes. Was a great feeling when you had a 'okay' #2 metolious 7' below you.

Saw that! Seemed to be abandoned though. Thanks for clearing it!

Anybody free Wednesday, Thursday, out Friday of next week? Thinking echo crag, or Lakeview on cannon.

Currently in wyoming... next time.

Any of you guys interested in getting out for a late fall climb on Saturday, October 24? Open to suggestions for destinations. Riverside, Bolton, Rumney...?

I'll be in Rumney that weekend

Travis, thanks for the response. I just bought some gear to self-belay with a toprope setup, so I'm gonna try that out this weekend. Have an awesome time at Rumney, should be nice tomorrow!

Seamus, we're headed to Farley Ledge, me, a friend who just started climbing, and my annoying dog. I don't want to make you an offer you can't refuse, but you're welcome to join =)

So I moved to central Vermont, form Florida, and I used to do lots of gym climbing there, but now I'm just getting into outdoor climbing, it's taken me a while to get everything I need and for now I only have the gear for top roping. But next season I should have enough kit to do some sport routes.
If anyone here is willing to teach me some things or recommend some good courses for led, sport, or multi-pitch I really appreciate it, I just want to lean more and get better.
But, for this winter I really want to do more Ice, I went 4 times last year, and I think I'm going to get some tools soon and begin to climb Ice more often. (BTW any advice for Ice Tools would be great, I'm looking at a set of Petzl Quarks, Nomic, or Grivel Quantum Techs)

I'd love to work something out with y'all and go with ya anytime for rock or ice! (You will just have to bear with me as I learning things)

Group,

Anyone ever climbed any of these alpine routes in Franconia Notch from the article below? Seems like the ice may be coming in there, as the Black Dike was already climbed this season.

neice.com/e-guide/the-spiri…

I am totally game for belaying and following a more experienced climber as soon as the ice is in so please let me know if you need a partner. I'd like to start leading this season after I get a bit more experience. Looking forward to it!

ive climbed the dike and lincolns throat a few times and the mullet. lincolns can be a pretty long day if there is lots of snow but a great time if you're looking for some good cardio.

Even if it seems like there should be lots of ice, be careful if heading up to the throat. its in the sun alot of the day. Ive gone up there and had to drytool the thing because there was no ice and the rock is really not good quality.

I'm looking to cut my teeth leading the easier routes in the notch this winter, up to WI3.
In general, lead or otherwise, Garcia Vega is calling to me, as well as the dike. I haven't climbed anything up there yet.
So excited for ice! Get cold!
