Others, such as Summer Chimney and Autumn Arete, are rock routes that ascend one of the three rock buttresses (the aptly named Buttresses No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3) that guard Boott Spur’s upper reaches.

The Burgeon Flume Baselayer is a stellar wicking layer that’s ideal for hiking and climbing in the Northeast. Ridiculously comfortable and handcrafted in New England, it was recently awarded Field and Stream’s best hiking shirt for 2021.
