New Hampshire Rockwalling

Here are some photos from a recent Rockwaller reunion expedition in New Hampshire. Bobby made the trip east, and Will came down from Canada, to celebrate Robert and Margaret's nuptials. Since they came all that way, I took them up the standard route on Whitehorse Ledge in North Conway.

Setting off from the hotel parking lot.

Bobby, Cadel, Stacey, and Crowder at the bottom of the slab.

Here's our climbing team at the lunch ledge about halfway up. Bobby's enjoying a mid-climb stogie.

Here's the view from halfway. You can see Mt. Cranmore's ski trails and Echo Lake, where Stacey, Cadel, and Crowder went for the afternoon.

Here is Bobby leading the pirate pitch, scrambling over the windward rail with a draw between his teeth.

I won the race, but Bobby and Will sprinted it out for second place.

And they're off.

Will stumbles and Bobby takes an early lead.

Will can't make up the deficit and Bobby wins!

Smiles all around. We built, I mean climbed the 1000' wall in just over 3 hours.

The route roughly follows the whitish stripes alllll the way up.

Everyone enjoyed the beautiful day in the mountains.
