Awesome! Thank you all so much! These are great and I'm sure my buddy can use several of them.:)

Hoping a few of you might have some pics of the methods used to protect alpine areas and sensitive vegetation, etc. that you could share with me for a friend of mine in the conservation field. Below is his email to me describing his needs. "For a work project, I'm looking to compile a hearty...

Great! Yeah, the Rocky Peak Ridge traverse was awesome - though it was raining a little by the time we got to Giant. We also missed the views from the top of Sawteeth the next day, but had extraordinary weather otherwise. Two of the three of us finished our 46ers on Sawteeth. I had needed nine...

Apologies to Daniel Daniel, So sorry I did not see this, but I was not on the forum after I got up there and had very little time online at all. I never even checked my Yahoo mail, only my main address. However, we did use [email protected] as Neil suggested and even ended up with a fourth...

Thanks. I'll try that. I had sent him a pm within the ADK High Peaks forum, but no response. I will try this address though. Rick

Hello, I am having trouble finding a shuttle for myself and two buddies to do a traverse of Rocky Peak Ridge and Giant a little over a week from now. The lady who owns the Keene Valley hostel will be out of town that day. Otherwise, she could have done it. Does anyone out there know of any...

You have a very nice New York list of peaks on there! Looks like several imminent list completions! Rick

Likewise, John has been nice enough to add several peaks for me as well that were unnamed and had less than 300' prominence. It seems he generally will if it has an unofficial name in print somewhere or is on a long established list. He added Southwest Hunter for me as well as 5 or 6 peaks on...

That's why I love LOJ. John Kirk has already done all the work, I believe probably using some software like WinProm perhaps. He has already calculated the elevation, prominence, isolation, saddles, essentially everything for every single peak in his database. It is really quite amazing! As for...

It's a great list! And a great idea. Though I may possibly do an Adirondack trip with a couple buddies this coming Spring, it will probably be next Christmas before Leanne and I get back up that way together. Possibly earlier, because she would like to visit family more than once a year, but...

Oh. Views and Brews. Neat! I don't drink but my girlfriend would absolutely love this. She really enjoys good beer. And hiking. Finally a list she might be enthusiastic about! I don't know how much of this I can peruse on my SLOW computer at work, but it looks like many of the hikes are not to...

What is VnB?

Thanks Mark. Glad you like it. Yeah, I've added quite a few lists to LOJ. Love that website. Are you a member? I'm considering doing a "Northeast Classic Peaks" list next, obviously a very subjective list, generally based on Jared Gange's excellent "100 Classic Hikes of the Northeast". It will...

Congratulations Tom! O.K. I took Tom's advice and finished the Catskill 35 Finest list. After looking at several maps, books, and online sources I learned that the northern and western edges of the Catskills are quite vague and uncertain, but it would seem that by the time you reach the...

Very well Tom. After I get home I shall pull out some maps and books and decide for myself where the outer edges of the Catskills lie. I was unable to do that at work this morning when I made the list. BTW, you can indeed see the list as it now appears by going to the links at the bottom of my...
