    Mt. Lafayette - OBP, 12-4-11

    A late start today up the Old Bridle Path and the Greenleaf trail. The lower part of the trail still has some loose rocks from the storm a while back. The trail remained dry until some ice 1/4 of a mile prior to the hut, and another 1/4 of it beyond the hut. Glad to put my microspikes to work...

    AMC 4000 Footers Question

    After 4 months of wondering what was going on, they finally cashed my menial check the other day, and I received my little patch and pamphlet. I'm not much of a boasting person, but it really felt cool to be recognized for something that as we all know requires a good degree of time, effort, and...

    Liberty - Flume Trails

    Anyone been up there recently? I took on a second job for the season, so I haven't been up there in over a month, so I really have no idea if theres a snowpack or anything, and how much ice is prevalent above treeline. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Just hate those days where I carry...

    The highest summits you can walk to?

    After a dreary morning lost in the realm of Wikipedia, I have a really random question... I'm curious if anyone has information about the highest mountains both in the US and abroad in which the summit can be reached by hiking or moderate scrambling with no permanent snow cover...

    Jefferson, Sam Adams, Adams, Madison 9-17

    Only intended on doing Adams and Madison, then when I hit the gulfside trail intersection, I decided to expand the hike drastically due to a beautiful day. Figured I'd explain such a weird trail selection. Airline, Gulfside to Thuderstorm Junction, Bushwack over Sam Adams, Gulfside, Jefferson...

    Will a little ol' hurricane slow you down?

    With Irene slowly approaching, I began wondering where some of you adventurists draw the line in regards to hitting the trails/rivers in extreme weather. I know that in terms of temperature, the window is virtually wide open. I've never said no to a snowshoeing trip due to cold weather alone...

    Mt. Adams via Kings Ravine 8/23

    Started at 1am from Appalachia in hopes of beating the sunrise. Brisk, Clear. Airline, Short Line, Kings Ravine, Subway, Star Lake, Lowes Path, Valley Way Airline and Short Line were in excellent condition. Dry, and not a twig out of place. The rocks of the Subway were wet, but not enough to...

    Bonds, Guyot, Zealand from Zealand Road 7-27

    Zealand, Twinway, West Bond Spur, Bondcliff. Lot was really crowded. A bunch of people out and about. Zealand to the hut was mostly dry, with a couple slightly muddy spots. Twinway was consistantly muddy from some brief morning showers, but not deep mud at all. A lot of NOBO thru hikers out...

    Maine 4000 footer to save for last?

    This Thursday I hope to be finishing my NH48 on the Bonds. After 30 peaks through the list, after already rushing through many of the taller ones, I made sure I saved something special for the end. So with those done, and Vermont peaks done previously...its on to Maine to finish the NE67. The...
