The Simonds family from Massachusetts joined EMS Schools this past Friday for a picture perfect day of climbing. Forecast-ed heat and humidity had us heading to Square Ledge in Pinkham Notch. Almost 2000 feet higher than North Conway, we caught some steady cool breezes off of the eastern side of Mount Washington and pretty much had the crag to ourselves except for another EMS Schools/YMCA camp group. Definitely the nicest day of climbing I have had recently with a super fun-stoked family!

After that we rappelled down the West Face to finish the day.

I had an excellent time sharing climbing with you guys. Given your past-time of back-country skiing I’m certain I’ll see one, or all, of you in an avalanche course this winter!
