Mt Washington Diamond Mine delivers again...
Mike's post brings back some good old memories. I soloed at North Conway back in 1973 before the airport became a shopping center & condo. It was right next to the little ridge that was the Mt. Cranmore ski area. Alan MacNicol (who organized the early wave camps) said it was like a "filter": If you could figure out how to jump from the little ridge, to the Mt. Kearsarge ridge, to the secondary wave and then to the primary wave - then you were qualified to be in that big wave. If you couldn't - you didn't belong there. One year (maybe '76) we flew out of Glen NH - but that site did not last long.
