The White Mountain Report: Apr 16th, 2026
So I had my fried egg and sausage breakfast Boissant sandwich at Bagels+ and then drove over to the North End of Cathedral this morning. I was a bit surprised to see that much of the ice that had slid down from the slab several days ago was still there at the bottom! This, in spite of a bunch of 60+ degree days, followed by some pretty amazing torrential rains over the past few daze. I normally don't put videos directly on the NEClimbs.com web site, but I thought you might find these interesting. The rain one is from Tuesday and the ice from Thursday.

Quotes From the Ledge:
If I have learned one thing in my 54 years, it is that it is very good for the character to engage in sports which put your life in danger from time to time. It breeds a saneness in dealing with day to day trivialities which probably cannot be got in any other way, and a habit of quick decisions.
