Cool. I'm going to create a page for this sort of thing. I can embed that image, it looks dynamic so it will stay current.

Cheers!

I would find it helpful. I am going to attempt Owl's Head Nov 5th-7th. It took me some time to do the research, but it would be nice to go to one place and see whats up.

http://www.mountwash...on.org/weather/ is another site I use. It's helpful.

My friend, brother, and me are looking to do the Presidential Range this weekend. Will be packed to decent Saturday night and camp then back up and finish it Sunday. Probably looking to do 3/4 Saturday and a shorter day Sunday. We did Mt Washington earlier in the season with Tuckermans up and took the great gulf trail down the back to Dolly Copp campsite, and want to get back and to the peaks.

If anyone is up to meet and join us please be experienced, we are not super athletic but are safe and can do the hike.

Post here I will check in later and can exchange numbers and talk if anyone is interested, having a car at each end will definitely help.

You can add this to the calendar too. It may drum up some interest.

Cheers!

Thanks, put a calendar submission in. The plan has been reduced to keep a slower / safer pace for the weather and to avoid transportation issues. Just aiming for a Northern Loop with Madison, Adams, and Jefferson.

Just a follow up, saw not a soul from the parking lot 7am on Saturday Morning till our return Sunday Morning around 9am. Was a great time with snow the entire way and some rain at camp from 5pm to about 7am when we got ready to pack up. This was an intro to winter climbing for my friend and his gear wasnt really up to par so we turned back very close to the summit of Madison as the wind was taking all the heat right out of his boots. He probably could have made it to the Madison Spring Hut but since its closed anyways it would not have provided enough shelter to warm up and continue.

As soon as we got back in the trees he slid in some foot warmers and had a nice climb back down to the camp site on the Osgood trail. We had the tent already set and some wood set aside for a fire so it was a nice relaxed afternoon.

We plan to come back and bag those peaks with some warmer weather, or warmer gear.

The Whites are nothing to mess with, but they will still be there for another day.

We leave Friday am for Owl's Head. With any luck, we'll make it to the summit.

Any Pictures?
