Tips for staying warm.

- Kitty Calhoun

Cold, Cold World

I awoke shivering uncontrollably. A friend and I were on a fast-and-light winter attempt of the Presidential Traverse in New Hampshire, taking only a sleeping bag, water and food. My partner had become hypothermic from the continuous cold and lack of calories. He was slightly disoriented and starting to stumble. We sought shelter on the leeward side of the closed observatory on the summit of Mount Washington. I’d decided to let him rest for a couple of hours and keep an eye on him.

But I fell asleep myself, and my own core temperature dropped. Trying to get my blood circulating, I did jumping jacks, to no avail. In desperation, I pulled a Snickers bar out of my pocket and choked it down. Within a few minutes, the sugar kicked in, and my shivering subsided. Lesson learned. In the ensuing 30 years, I have learned even more about staying warm in the cold.

To The Grit

About 10 winters ago I touched down in Manchester in a hard, driving English rain. The city was hidden from view. I was groggy after a red-eye from Dallas, an over-brewed black tea barking on my dry tongue.

The Wild Ones

North Conway is a typical New Hampshire town tucked among rolling hardwood hills and set at the foot of imposing granite slabs, but 30 years ago it was the stage on which a small band of climbers led the way in boldness and vision.
