Mountaineering

Checking out if the car is still in the parking lot from many pitches up on Canon Cliff in New Hampshire.

I started mountaineering through a rock climbing course thought by volunteers of the Boston Chapter of the Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC). Since then, I have been active in rock climbing, ice climbing, and mountaineering thought the AMC and the MIT Outing Club (MITOC). I tought yearly courses for MITOC and lead trips throughout the Northeast and the western states. Now I am at Dartmouth where even more students climb, hike and otherwise recreate outdoors.

  M.I.T. Outing Club

  When I was in Boston most of my recreational activities were done in conjunction with the MIT Outing Club (MITOC) where I was the Mountaineering Chairman for six years. I lead trips and classes in rock climbing, ice climbing, mountaineering, sea kayaking and cross country skiing. MITOC's largest educational and outdoor activity is Winter School. Winter School is conducted every January during the winter semester. Classes are held biweekly, with trips schedule  every weekend during January.

  I have included directions to the Longwood Bouldering Wall and the Mill City Rock Gym in Dracut.
