On 22 Dec. 2019 I completed the ME200 w list on East Royce with Carl Cressey & Van. Easy hike due to minimal snow conditions. After Carl, I am only the 2nd finisher of that difficult list; in my opinion more difficult than the ADK 3K's w. And having done both of these lists, I know what I am...

Such lists can be obtained at http://lesiteayvon.com/listesoncoman.html Examples of available lists: NEng 2,000 footers; ME500 most prominent peaks; NH 1,850 footers Info is in French but self explanatory (e.g. élévation = elevation; culminance = prominence; fichiers = files) The files...

Pure quest of the futile or quest of oneself? You tell me. For my part over the years it has become a way of life and a true passion full of memorable moments such as witnessing while bushwhacking at dawn the birth of a fawn, all curled up and steaming with its eyes still shut. What a privilege...

Many years ago I had decided to keep Black Dome for my finish. Not the most beautiful one, but I liked the name. So on 20 April 2019 I summited Black Dome with the rain to keep me company. Zero views on ledge near top due to fog. Minimal icy spots on steep part of trail near summit. BTW ticks...

Anyone working on this list this winter. Would be interested in having company for my remaining 50 pks, especially for the harder ones (eg The Captain). If interested,send me a private message. I usually hike on fridays & saturdays.

Comments on a few among the 50 - 60 sub 3K Maine pks climbed in last 3 months Russell 2402’ : found register placed by JRP in Nov. 2009 #999/1000 . Surely he must have finished by now. When? On which Pk? Does anyone know. Is it the New England 1000 highest list or the Maine 1000 list? Only 1...

Actually trying to assess the feasability of establishing a 1001 list for the Northeast, using the traditional 200 ft interpolated prominence criteria. Though debatable, I plan to include Pennsylvania in Northeast list. Going down to 2850' and using 770 Swanson list + ME200, NH200, VT200 +...

After 5 years of bwk all over the northeast, with an average of 120 pks per year and 30,000 miles of driving per year I can say that my present car, a minivan Honda Odyssey, has performed outstandingly well despite very rough workhorse beatings. But with 250,000 miles under the hood time has...

Mount Louise is located on Québec/US border NE of Coburn Gore (#87 on ME top 100 prominence list). It is best approached from Québec side. Took me 90 min. to & from my car - woods very very open. Where it not for private club posting, would take less than an hour via ATV trail. Found jar...

Presently working on the 770(777) list and while doing so decided to also do the following sub lists: 1. New England 50 finest which I completed on Smarts(NH) in 2006 on 11th Nov. 2. Northeast USA 50 finest which I completed on Black (NY) in 2009 on 18th May Would now like to pursue those lists...

On July 22nd 2009 completed on Crane, with my wife Gisèle, these 2 rarely attempted ADK lists. Crane is a nice little peak located in southern ADK (3240’ - 1,4 mile trail from car to summit), with however steep sections; but there are ladders to get you over tough spots, and an almost 360°...

Started from Elk Lake last Sat. and walked Marcy-Elk Lake trail to height of land. Uphill towards South Pinnacle brisk but surprisingly open bwk by ADK standards. Very enjoyable with leaves all coloured up. Western ridge extension from summit is however infested by bad blowdown. Ridge traverse...

Had been trying to organize a oneday trip to Baxter for over 2 yrs now. I knew this was going to be quite a challenge to find partners crazy enough to join me for a 20+ miles winter trip to Katahdin/Hamlin from Abol Bridge, or even worst a 30+ m. one to N. Brother/Fort, let aside the weather...

Plan would be to start from Abol Bridge campground and take Abol trail up to Baxter Peak. This represents a 20 miles dayhike (12-16 hrs), 8 of which are a road walk unless we decide to ski it. Hopefully trails will have been well packed down by Réjean's group and others on previous wks. If...

Wanted to follow Réjean’s footsteps to bag those 3 pks on Monday 11th Feb., having off work that day, but 8+ inches of fresh snow during night scrapped that plan. Off at 04h15. Temps were cold, at least -15 C° with strong winds. Bare hands and exposed face froze in less than 1 min. Succeeded...
