Huntington Ravine Rock Climbing

Rt 16 north through North Conway and Glen NH; in Glen Rt 302 branches west towards Bartlett and Crawford Notch. Stay on Rt 16 North for 12 miles to the AMC Pinkham Notch "camp". Free parking and free (good) information here.Starting at Pinkham Notch (Elev. 2000 ft) Take the Tuckerman Ravine "Fire Trail" to the Huntington Ravine "fire road" trail* (branches right about 2 miles up the "Tuck's Fire Trail") and continue into Huntington Ravine and the huge boulder's at its base. Continue up the trail. Pinnacle is to the left of the trail, the trail cuts right at the base of Central Gully. If headed for Henderson's Ridge, branch off right from the trail below the base of Central Gully at a point where the slide alder looks most easily penetrated...* You can also access via the actual Huntington Ravine Trail which branches off about 1.2 miles up the "Tuck's Fire Trail". This is more senic, more direct but probably a bit slower due to terrain underfoot.Another access possibility is to pay the fee to drive up the Mt Washington Auto Road. Park at a pull out at about the 6 1/2 mile mark and hike DOWN the Huntington Ravine Trail to the base of the ravine. This is an especially popular mode of access when the temp. at even Pinkham Notch is in the mid-to-high-80F's! (Which means the valleys are in the low 90's! )
