Have you ever dreamed of being high on a mountain?
Well, it’s been a while, but Monday I head back up Mount Washington for an overnight. The mountains have changed since I started climbing back in 1969, winters or shorter and we don’t see the intense cold we used to see. But the mountains are still there, and always presenting a challenge in one way or another.It was my 47th anniversary as a professional climbing guide in early March. I've never regretted it a day, I will always love to climb. As the saying goes, any climbing is better than no climbing. So, I'm still here. I’m considering myself semi-retired, but I’m still teaching a lesson, primarily in the spring summer and fall, especially for those who have climbed with me in the past. I never appreciated my parents naming me Joe until I registered my website, climbwithjoe.com. All of my courses are custom designed for your needs. And still, I say if you are looking for quality and experience, I'm your guide. If you're looking for a deal or to check off climbing from your to do list I'm probably not. I'm here for those who have seen a mountain or cliff or a ribbon of ice either in person or in a photograph and thought I wonder what it's like to be up there. So, if that's in your DNA get in touch. The mountains await.
One of my favorite places, Mount Washington in winter.
