Did you bag the peak? I've been up there twice but still haven't made the whack. Also interesting is that there was a trail, Currier Brook Trail, that went over the Northwest ledges and the peak, to meet the Lawrence/Old Paugus intersection on the South summit. That might be a fun whack.

I haven't seen this map, pretty cool. Interesting that they mixed up zeacliff and zealand mts.

Late last November, my wife and I hiked Edmand's Path up to ike. It was a bluebird day with fresh fallen snow, and very lovely indeed. One thing caught my attention at the time. At almost exactly 4,000', where the trail turns to the left, there were some fresh tracks continuing ahead. My wife...

This was also my theory, that it was a considered route but ultimately the current route was built. I'd like to try hiking it to see why it wasn't choosen. There must have been a good reason because building all those ladders on the current route must have been a huge endeavor. Would have been...

Camp 3 is the condos. This is the normal old osseo route. The reason Steve hiking it in 1983 is relevant is because the mystery route I posted is from a 1984 map, right after the trail was rerouted to it's present route.

Yup, did it a couple of months ago.

If it's Steve Smith, I already asked him. He says he hiked the tail in 1983 and it was the same as now and that this is just some sort of mistake.

Here is caltopo MapBuilder overlay. It's very clearly a completely different route, but probably just completely wrong.

Yeah, I think the map is simply wrong. The trail doesn't go anywhere near whaleback summit now.

Did you bother looking at the image I posted. I've hiked old osseo from the condos. I'm talking about a different route, the one shown in the image.

I was looking at the 1984 WMNF map and found an Osseo route(picture linked below) that starts at a similar location to the current Osseo trail, but goes over Whaleback, meeting and taking the old Osseo. I know the new Osseo was built in the 80s, but did it go through a pretty quick and...

Excellent video, they keep getting better! IMO, this is the best "legal" hammock spot at guyot (first 2 pics, blue marker on map). basically, round the corner before the hut and head down towards the privy. It's on the left. There are also a bunch of "overflow" sites up at the junction with...
