Sick of Climbing the Wall? Get to IME


​Don’t Climb a Wall – Do the Real Thing with IME!
 
Now that winter has hit, are you getting cabin fever?  How about getting out and doing something a little more adventurous this year? 
 
Have you always wondered what it felt like to be high on Mount Washington in the winter with crampons on your feet, ice axe in hand as you battle its notoriously bad weather in search of the summit?  (No?  Me neither but I digress!)
 
Ever dreamed of ice climbing?  Does the idea of being tied into the rope and swinging your tools into a vertical ribbon of ice sound fun to you?  (Yikes!)

IME - International Mountain Equipment


Maybe you've been rock climbing once and always wondered what the winter equivalent was like.  Well, stop wondering and check out IME - International Mountain Equipment.
Timeline of IME – International Mountain Equipment
 
Take the way back train to 1974.  That was the year that International Mountain Equipment, Inc. was founded by Frank Simon, Bill Aughton and Paul Ross.
 
1979 was the year that Rick Wilcox purchase IME with the intention of using the established business as basecamp to allow him to pursure his passions for rock and ice climbing plus 61 expeditions world-wide!
 
He committed to supplying his customers with the best clothing and technical gear on the market.  If they don’t have what you’re looking for, they will order it for you. 
 
FYI, if it’s Alpine Touring or Tele mark equipment you’re after, this is the place!  They have a great selection of good quality gear.

They both love to backpack, hike and climb anywhere in the White Mountains or a Baxter State Park in Maine.
