...with Carter Dome just a short stroll away, you stay on Mt Hight for over two hours even though it doesn't count.

Sure it does:Originally Posted by Billy
You probably already climbed Carter Dome for your 48 and since you can't count multiple peaks, you do Hight as part of the TEN separate hikes you'll need for the entire Wildcat-Carter-Moriah range. If you are a peakbagger, you know what these are
(Wildcat D, Wildcat C, Wildcat A, Carter Dome, Mount Hight, South Carter, Middle Carter, North Carter, Lethe, Moriah)

Bike, Hike, Ski, Sleep. Eat, Fish, Repeat.
When you would rather take a nap in the sun on the summit rather than grab another peak.

I believe Hight is also on the Y Alpine list....just sayin'.....stop resisting, Billy!

You turn around 1 mile into Rocky Branch to squeeze in some last trail work before an October Nor'easter.

So, I guess you're not a peakbagger when you don't even know what's on "the list."
I fall into the camp of not being a peakbagger. I definitely hit some summits, but I'm just as likely to wander off in some other direction a few dozen feet shy of a marker for no particular reason. It may just be my personality type; I also walk out of movies in the theater from time-to-time, rarely finish drinks, and generally have a

Also, you're not a peakbagger if your trail name is Stop Short.

I would say you know your not a "peakbagger" when from a mountain's summit
you look longingly at the waterways below and say "damn wish I was down there"
"you've got to stand for something
or...you'll fall for anything"
What is peakbagger anyway?
I am a fair weather peakbagger, if the weather is rotten, I am entirely willing and able to come back another time when the weather is nice. I didnt submit my 48 long ago until I had a reasonable view from each summit (that had one). I was a little more flexible on the winter 48, but did take three times to go up Adams, my last one on the winter list until I had good views.
.....ooooooooooooohhhhhhhh yeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh
...when you hike to, say Mt. Adams, and avoid the last 20' because there's a crowd, and just skirt around the actual summit....
...when you don't know if a particular peak is on a particular list...
...when you don't understand why you should care...
...when you get a kick out of someone talking to you as if you're a beginner when you answer "no" to the common question "have you finished your 4ks?", as if all hikers are peakbaggers. This can be fun. I like to ask questions like "is that Mt. Washington?" while pointing at Mt. Madison.
The assumption that I'm a beginner always humors me. I like the advice I'll get: "never hike alone"...."if you see a moose..." very entertaining
you know you are not a peakbagger when..
sunday afternoons are spent on the couch with nachos and beers watching the games in real time....
