Description Suggest change

There are several steep snow climbs up to the Chin where crampons and at least 1 axe are valuable. Most are backcountry ski lines but seeing as other New England areas have broken out steep snow climbs on MP, I figured this is worth adding to your list if you like mountaineering. Roped climbing is not permitted anywhere in the alpine zone, so consider these spicy hikes - not pitched climbs.

Getting There Suggest change

Hike the Long Trail to Taft Lodge, then take your choice of trails to the steep snow slopes beneath the east face of the Chin
