Five med-students from NYC took a well deserved couple of days off from their studies to come up to North Conway to summit Mount Washington and get a taste of waterfall ice climbing the following day. We had excellent weather for our summit attempt (successful), and despite the crowds yesterdat we had plenty of ice to climb. A good two days indeed!

“Summit & Swing” is a new 1 and a half day program. We climb Mt. Washington on Day 1, then do a half-day of ice climbing on Day 2. This is offered to give those who need to drive aways home a chance to do more than just a day with us. For more info check out http://www.emsclimb.com or call 800-310-4504!

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.
What an awesome weekend! Thanks for a great intro to ice climbing and an truly incredible trip. Can’t wait to come back….
