Guide Pick: Petzl Dart Modular Crampons. "The Dart was updated in 2019 from its much loved original version. The addition of an anti balling plate and modular front points make it a great, all around technical crampon. Whether it is Gully climbing on Mt Washington or steep ice at Lake Willoughby, this crampon will keep you attached and moving up!" Keith, North Conway

"The search for the perfect-width backcountry ski can leave East Coasters feeling a lot like Goldilocks. Some skis are too wide, others are too narrow, and finding one with a waist size that’s 'just right' seems impossible. If you’ve been dreaming of a ski silhouette that cruises uphill, shreds downhill, and can tackle the Ice Coast’s notoriously variable conditions, here are some thoughts..." https://bit.ly/38iq7MT : @timjpeck

If you dream of filling your 2021 with sitting on craggy mountain tops, running narrow ridgelines, and exploring high places, then we’ve got the list for you. Read up on goEast's "52 in 52: The Ultimate Northeast Peakbaggers Checklist" https://bit.ly/3bbQQwI. : @timjpeck

This view never gets old, and never looks the same. : @seadub9

Trying to stay focused on learning, but that view makes it tough #climbing #outside #fall @peterkbrandon

It's all gold. #goEast

Stocked and ready for you this season. Pictured is our North Conway store, located right off White Mountain Hwy and just 5 minutes from Eastern Mountain Sports Schools. Gear up and get out!

Staff Pick: @salomon Sense Ride 3 GTX Waterproof Trail Running Shoe. I've been running and hiking in Salomon since 2014! I've run on both the roads and trails in this shoe. I have to admit it's not as stable and protective as the Wild Cross on very technical trails. Much of NH is rugged even on the smallest of mountains. The Sense Ride 3's really shine on roads and on flat dirt forest trails. This is what they were built for so I can only confirm what Salomon designed these for, but I also can confirm I won't be running roads in any other shoes. OK maybe my Sonic 3 Balance or my Predict RA's. I think you get it. Whatever I run in, its Salomon! @pinetopguide, South Portland EMS

Get on the rock this season. Eastern Mountain Sports Schools offer intro level classes if you’re a first timer, or take on the two-day fast track to go all in. Other courses include Top Rope Setup and Learn to Lead. Email [email protected] to get started! (*Please note: Scheduled group outings are not available at this time.) #goEast

Winter’s on the horizon. #goEast

Staff Pick: EMS Women's Merino Wool Base Layer Tights. Part of our new fall arrivals, this base layer is exactly what I’ve been waiting for: 100% Merino wool, super soft, and no itch. It’s natural wicking, antimicrobial, and most importantly has just the right amount of stretch to transition from the trails to the campfire comfortably (we’ve got the tops, too).
