The three men pictured - atop the icy slopes of Mount Adams (NH) - have been incremental to the founding of this store. Since we met in college in 2017, we've been pushing each other to our physical and mental limits. What started with a treacherous (and unprepared) hike up Mount Marcy, has turned into dozens of winter summits across the United States.

The hike in the picture began after a snowstorm covered Coos County New Hampshire with 8" of fresh powder. We started at ~5:30am, where we needed to strap into our snowshoes just to get out of the parking lot. After 4.5 hours of breaking trail, we stopped, and a man with no poles came by and snapped this picture for us. If you're out there - legend - we hope you enjoyed the summit as much as we did.
