White Mountain Direttissima

Last week, I completed one of the most challenging and personal projects of my life: an unsupported linkup of all 48 New Hampshire 4,000-footers known as the White Mountain Direttissima. The route covered 231 miles and nearly 86,000 feet of climbing, and I finished in 4 days, 22 hours, and 43 minutes — over a full day faster than my 2016 attempt.

Nancy Carrigain Loop – Hart’s Location, NH

The Nancy Carrigain Loop is a challenging but rewarding mountain route that links the lightly-trafficked Nancy Pond Trail with the more popular summit of Mount Carrigain.
