The Wolfeboro Rec Group Camp came back for their 3rd summer to climb with us. It is always fun with these guys as they motivate each other and this time brought us some oreos!
We geared up at the school with harness, helmets, shoes and ropes...
Our yellow bus dropped us at Pinkham Notch where we headed to the Lost Pond Trail...
We started with a couple ropes on the West Face of Square Ledge...
Those waiting to climb practiced some knots and encouraged those on the climb...
The West Face has a few fun climbs with ample holds...
Once at the top each climber was rigged to rappel back down...
Some like climbing up most, others like going down the most...
These two girls are all smiles...
Classic climber pose...
Crystal serves up some belay duty with a great back drop of Mt. Washington...
Tess works on the steepest route of the day, "The Brain"
It is good to trust the rope when you need to!
Some fun moves right off the ground on "The Chimney"
On the hike out we cross a bridge near a beaver dam...
Wolfeboro Rec Group, you guys are great! Thanks for supporting each other, camper and counselor alike! We’ll see you next summer!

About David Lottmann
David grew up skiing in the Whites and started climbing at a summer camp just north of Mt. Washington when he was 16. Those first couple of years solidified climbing as a lifetime passion. From 1996-2000 he served in the USMC, and spent the better part of those years traveling the globe (18 countries).
After returning to civilian life he moved to North Conway to focus on climbing and was hired in 2004 as a Rock and Ice Instructor. Since then Dave has taken numerous AMGA courses, most recently attaining a Single Pitch Instructor. He has completed a Level 3 AIARE avalanche course, is a Level 2 Course Leader, holds a valid Wilderness First Responder and is a member of Mountain Rescue Service.
When David isn't out guiding he enjoys mountain biking, kayaking, hiking, backcountry skiing, trying to cook something new once a week and sampling new micro-brews. He lives in Conway, NH with his wife Michelle and son Alex.
