Congratulations to"Oncoman", aka as Pierre Lefebvre from Quebec, who recently released the following: "I completed 770-777 list on Monadnock (VT) on 12 August 2019." He is the 11th known completer of this list.

Sat. 5/23 Barkaboom Mt. (3100') & Cradle Rock Ridge (3160'): SonnyM and I arrived early afternoon in the Southwest Catskill Mountains area for a weekend of 100 highest peak bagging. We started off with an easy 500 ft. right angle bushwhack ascent of Barkaboom Mt. from Cross Mountain Road, then...

Just received a Mount Rushmore post card from Dick: "This was only a highlight of my trip. The high points of my trip were MI, MN, ND and --#50--> IA. Finally !!!" Ever since Sonny Martineau and I joined Dick in 1999 and had a successful trip getting the toughies Gannett (WY) and Granite (MT)...

Friday (11/29) Burnt Knob and Acra Point : SonnyM and I arrived about noon at the trail head parking lot. With just about (5) hours of daylight left, we chose these trailed peaks to start off the weekend. While they both have a few open viewpoints, this is a great time to be here when all the...

The ADK 46-R "blue tarp" trail work party weekend was set up at Sharp Bridge Campground, a break from the usual Putnam Pond offering that the group works at this time each summer. The Trail masters: Sam, Pete, Dave and Joe had their sights set to work along the 5.2 mi. trail that leaves the...

SonnyM and I arrived early Friday evening along Gillespie Rd (outside Tannersville, Haines Falls). Rainy overnight gave way to sun Saturday morning. Started out for Roundtop Mtn. Good to see that area now designated as DEC land. Found the cairn rock pile on the summit. I did that peak originally...

In early October, I did the Brown Pond peak bushwhack a second time, with SonnyM, who was out there to complete one of his ADK 100 highest. We passed the Brown Pond stream outlet from the west and used the sloped approach through mostly open woods to the broad wooded "summit" area ... or so we...

I recently spent (6) days last week in the Adirondacks with Sonny M. accompanying him on hikes / bushwhacks of Brown Pond Peak, Little Santanoni, Lyon Mtn and Averill Peak. He finished on Lyon (fire tower) on Saturday, Oct. 8. We used trail bikes on back country roads as conditions allowed. Our...

When it comes to mountain or backwoods tasks, I've always been one who likes to tie loose ends. According to 46er records, I needed another trail work outing to complete "46 hours" for my first 46-R Conservation Award. I hadn't worked with this group for at least 10 years. I chose their Putnam...

After you've completed the Adirondack 46ers, perhaps you've ventured off doing some of the the other 54 to complete your ADK 100 highest or done other bushwhacks to one day perhaps complete all the NY 3000 footers. So which one is a favorite that has redeeming features that you'd recommend to...

Had a great but short trip to an area I haven’t visited since completing the CAT 3000 footers in 1995. It seems like just last year I was there! I chose Red Hill for my final peak, approached the posted private and gated old entrance. Alan had told me about the new DEC trail that's on the Coon...

The AMC NW Hancock climb on Saturday, Feb. 23rd went as planned. We had beautiful sunshine most of the day. Our group of four included Sonny M., Ben C., and Dave L. We met quite a few hikers doing the two Hancock 4000 footers. Took the steep(!) trail up No. Hancock (4420'). From there we...

On Saturday, Feb. 11, Joan, Irene, and I had a beautiful sunny day for a bushwhack up Mt. Clough, just west of Mt. Moosilauke. This was my second winter climb of this peak, but a first using a southern approach. Our hike start was from the upper parking lot of the Sanatorium in Glencliff. After...

Here is a step by step map approach to Boundary Peak that we used in 2001. This is a shorter and what appears to be easier route than the traditional eastern NV approach. It is also a shorter drive if you want to combine this with Mt. Whitney, the CA high point. Make copies of these overlapping...

For many of us who remember Hoosier Hill as it was, check out these recent photos. These Indiana citizens certainly have a lot to be proud of. State High Point Improvements
