Description
Situated on the eastern flank of Mount Washington, Huntington's Ravine is the perfect spot for rock climbing in New Hampshire!
The glacial cirque is one of four located around New England's highest peak and boasts the steepest and highest headwall of them all.
Rising to 3,392 feet (1,034 meters) in elevation, there are plenty of great rock clibming routes for us to try out over the course of our 2 days together.

Rock Guide
Alex grew up skiing and exploring the wild places of New England. These early explorations led Alex to rock climbing, mountaineering and backcountry skiing and from there into guiding. Alex began guiding professionally in 2007 in an effort to combine his passion for climbing and teaching. In 2014 Alex took over as owner of Mooney Mountain Guides from his mentor and friend Art Mooney, providing the opportunity for sharing his passion for the mountains into his life’s work.
Alex believes that guiding is so much more than just putting the rope up. It is about creating an experience that not only adds to the quality of life of his guests, it also expands their relationship with the Earth and with themselves. “Creating experiences for growth is what I enjoy most about my work. The guests I climb with the most become my friends, and I get to watch them transform into climbers and planet activists.” As a father, business owner, teacher and experienced guide he has a keen sense of risk and how to manage it to create unforgettable experiences for his guests.
