Choose your character and sharpen your social deduction skills as we embark on an epic quest to capture three of New Hampshire's legendary 4000-footers and one coveted 52-with-a-view summit! Will you be a loyal servant of Arthur seeking the summit grail, or will you secretly sabotage the mission as a minion of Mordred?
Our route will be around 8.9 miles with 3500' elevation gain, a worthy challenge for any Knight of the Round Table. We'll claim victory atop three 4000-footers (Willey, Field, and Tom) as we endeavour to reach our ultimate destination: the mystical Mount Avalon. If fortune favors our quest, we'll be rewarded with breathtaking views of Crawford Notch from this scenic viewpoint. The forecast currently indicates precipitation, so please be prepared to duel (hike) in the rain.
There will be a mandatory pre-quest briefing on Thursday, July 10th at 5:30 PM on Zoom to discuss the route strategy, gear inspection, and mission logistics. Expect to depart Cambridge early Saturday morning.
We will need a car for this trip, so preference will be given to drivers. Please make sure your car status is updated if you can drive others (including if you are willing to rent).
