Left early in the morning from the Catskills on Friday and climbed Dix from rt. 73. I don't get up to the Adirondacks as much as I would like to lately because of a busy schedule.I finished the 46 in 2001,and over the years climbed some of the more popular ones before embarking on the 46 quest. Later that night I would meet up with friends Rob,Linda ,Nick and Raecine in lake Placid.Rob has hiked quite a few of the 46 high peaks , but for Nick and Raecine this would be their first time in the Adirondacks. Linda hiked Algonquin -Iroquois-and Wright with me last year. Raecine only had recently taken up hiking and only climbed a couple of mountains in the Catskills.I had a great hike up Dix Friday and only saw a few people coming up when I made my descent.This was my third time on Dix and really enjoyed the great views. The last time I climbed it I also included Hough , but I wanted to meet everyone back in Lake Placid fairly early where the 5 of us were staying.After a great night of partying in Lake Placid we got an early start from New Russia and hiked over Rocky Peak Ridge to Giant Mt. We had a car spot on rt. 73. I only climbed those 2 in the past from rt. 73 and came back over Giant. This was my first traverse from New Russia. It was beautiful !.I have to give Raecine a lot of credit for keeping up with us on this route and it's practically her first hike,and she is not a youngster.She climbed over 11 miles and 5500' of vertical. The next day Linda and I did a shorter hike up Porter and Cascade.We all had a great time and the new comers to the Adirondacks loved the majestic mountains. They will be back,Linda now has 7 mountains in on 2 trips.Here are a few pictures.
