Nice pics Jerry.Great route !! My first trip up The Unicorn was in October of '84 or '85 with Geoff Tabin and a buddy.I got to lead the first and third.Geoff led P2 and buddy nothing.After the "approach" I tossed off my extra shirt so went on up in a single layer of polypro.Buddy was stymied by every pitch,by the time I had brought them both up,Geoff had done P2 and his bud took an hour or more to follow I was near death hypothermic...lol !!Feeling was just returning when I made that hanging belay,fun spot with three of us,I just grabbed the gear and started firing for the top,Geoff,of all people, admonishing me to "slow down".
Whenever people ask me "Isn't ice climbing cold?"I always say..."not as cold as the Unicorn in October"

Chilloe, I imagin DD protects a bit easier these days with micro cams. Alex did use stoppers but he also plugged in the aliens and TCUs :)

Tradman, first step is opening a free photo-hosting account on some website such as www.photobucket.com. They'll give you instructions on how to upload your photos to photobucket. Once you've done that, linking them into a SuperTopo post is easy -- get that far and I'll tell you how it's done in one easy step.
I'd like to see your pictures. Vermont crags are even more under-photographed than Poko.

Tradman, it should be easy. Beneath the photos on NEIce.com, there's a box labeled UBBCode, which contains the file photo's URL address enclosed by img and /img in square brackets. Just copy that whole address, including the two "img" parts, and paste it into your SuperTopo post like so.

Hah, hope you don't mind that I grabbed it as an example of how to link a picture from NEice.com. It's a nice photo you took.

I've had many fun days on the nearer crags up thataway, Echo & Profile, but Hound's Hump looks outta my approach league. Like Tar says, more pix welcome now that you've learned the trick!

Chiloe, my friend you have, each time you've posted photos, made me miss New Hampshire and its fine granite. I've made only one return trip since my return to California 22 years ago. I didn't climb when we had a house in Idylweis in the town of Madison but loved exploring the Whites. However on my return visit I did get to do many classics, a month of hanging around Conway was a blast. Keep the photos coming. Thanks James.
