Pinnacle Gully



Hock and Brian - at last year's Fossil gathering - finally finding some ice, high up on the side of Mount Washington, in Huntington Ravine. This is new England's most classic and historic ice climb done in 1929. Pinnacle today is graded NEI 3+, imagine it back in the day, with 110 cm axes, no ice screws, and a hemp rope! We stayed in the Harvard Cabin ... a walk down memory lane for Hock, who had not been back since he was the care taker in the winter of 1977-78.
