It’s All Fun and Games…

Until someone gets hurt. And that applies to our most recent guest, as well as explaining why we were hired to lead this hiking trip in the first place. You see, earlier this year this guest was trail running, solo, and suffered an accidental fall. She tripped on a root and the resulting fall was fairly significant by way of her physical injuries sustained....

Sunrise from Mt Crawford

A person reached out hoping we could help her experience a mountain sunrise. This is something we offer and we're certainly happy to do so. Leading the charge was Redline Guide Rhonda Willette and the objective -- and a really good one at that -- was Mt Crawford (one of the 52WAV) accessed off of Davis Path. The team of two arrived as the new day dawned offering a wide stroke of alpenglow painting the landscape. A total epic! Rhonda's photos follow. Great lead, Rhonda! And to our guest, awesome way to get the goods. Thank you for choosing Redline Guiding.

Still Gettin’ After It

We don't hear as much from our oft-returning Grid Gettin' Guest as we used to but that's because the number of peaks he still "needs" (33 of them) is shrinking while the space between them grows. He's closing in with this hike of Mt Carrigain getting him one step closer to his goal of hiking all of the 48 4000-footers in NH…...

Baxter on Demand

She had been following us for years and determined that this was the year she would hire us. The objective was to hike Mt Katahdin in Baxter State Park in Maine. She specifically requested Redline Guide Debra McCown. Due to the challenging terrain and time of day the summit wasn't gained but the requested trail was. The team hiked up Hunt Trail (the AT) then descended via Abol....

Crushing Flume Slide Trail

A returning guest reached out seeking oversight on an attempt of the notorious Flume Slide Trail. She didn't have to go that way, needing both Mt Flume and Mt Liberty she could have done an out-and-back like many people do, but she wanted to also grab that justifiably Terrifying 25 trail. Leading this adventure was Redline Guide Brian McElwee…...

All the Way to Connecticut

We will go to great lengths to meet the needs of our guests, including going all the way down to Connecticut to do some Rock Climbing with two of our regulars. We didn't have to great lengths this time, though. Leading them was Redline Guide Glenn Van Neil. He lives in Connecticut with this family. Today’s rock, Glenn told us, was "...

Adding it All Up

A returning guest reached out looking to get some help taking on the last four peaks on his 4000-footers list: Washington, Adams, Jefferson, and Cannon. On this trip Adams was going to be taken down but thanks to the forecast the team decided Cannon Mountain would be better so that's what they did doing an out-and-back on the Kinsman Ridge Trail....

Another Amazing Day Up There

It seems like hiking up Mt Washington has become more popular than ever as we've fielded so many requests this past month. These requests range from taking on the notorious Huntington Ravine to "any trail that gets me up there." Being the "Rock Pile" is the tallest mountain in the Northeast and has such a compelling history -- both grand and tragic -- we can understand and appreciate the draw....
