- Prerequisites
- No previous above treeline experience is needed. You should have experience with and be comfortable using traction (crampons or microspikes), be in good physical fitness, and have your winter layering system dialed in.
We'll be heading up Mt. Chocorua via the Champney Falls Trail. The hike is ~8 miles (13 km) with ~2200 ft (670 m) of elevation gain, with about 1 mile (1.6 km) above treeline.
This is an above-treeline trip with strong, cold winds. If the weather is bad, we will turn around. If we the weather holds, we'll have spectacular views.
Chocorua is a great introduction to above-treeline travel. We'll review ice axe techniques and practice covering all of our skin.
