Route Profile: Buttress No. 1, Boott Spur, Mt. Washington
There’s a surprising number of alpine routes on the Boott Spur Buttress on Mt. Washington. Some are primarily snow climbs, like Cathedral, Stovepipe, Dodge’s, and Hillman’s. 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.

Burgeon Flume Baselayer Review
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.

Here are my initial impressions:
