so, a little off color, but i am going to post it. Today while hiking during my lunch break, i saw more poop on the trail and I am not talking about dog poop. There are also several areas of paper remains which got me thinking. What is the best toilet paper to use when digging a cathole (which...

So, we had planned to do a one day Pemi on Saturday August 21 and as we got closer to the hike I got the urge to try to do it as fast as I could. We set out to run it without waiting for each other and to see what we would do. I was shooting for 10 hours and Don was shooting for 11 hours. We...

Not set in stone yet, but trying to put together a day of rock climbing in NH and then the next day do a one day pemi loop if anyone is interested.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/kfolcik/sets/72157624200777903/ On Friday night I left work and headed out to the Adirondaks to hike the Great Range Traverse with a bunch of people I met online. They were: (forgive me if I mess up names or forgot anyone!) Doug, Laura, Guy, Frank, Scott, Jessica...

Amy and I set out to do a one day Presidential Traverse. The forecast looked bad but we decided to take the chance. We started at 6am under cloudy skies and a slight drizzle. We took Valley Way to Watson Path and averaged 2 miles per hour up to the summit of Madison. At that point it really...

I am going to do a one day presi traverse Saturday. My friend and I are driving up Friday night and we are going to shuttle cars. I can't remember where the closest campground to the Appalachia trailhead is. Does anyone have any suggestions that will make for a super easy drive Saturday morning?

For anyone looking for an awesome trail running race, I did this one and ran 100k last September and am planning to do the 50 miler this year. It was by far the best trail running race I have done so far. Great course and great crew that puts it on. Lots of elevation gain for those of us that...

So, I am thinking of a one day pemi loop at the end of this month. Who has done it and how long does it take? I am sort of planning a one day presi traverse next weekend with a friend to prepare.

Does anyone know how much snow is on Mt Greylock? We are headed up early tomorrow to hike up one side of the road with heavy packs for Denali training and then the other side of the road the next day. We were in waist deep slush in NH last weekend trying to get up Mt Treemont and don't care to...

Don and I set out to try the trapdike in the adirondaks this weekend. The weather forecast looked good and we were ready to go. We drove up late Friday night and camped. We were on the trail Saturday morning at 6:30am. It was chilly but the skies were clear and the trail was in great shape...

We are headed up to attempt the Trapdike in the Adirondaks this Saturday. We are unsure of which trailhead we are starting from but we plan to do it in a day. Does anyone know of how the conditions are?

Don and I decided to try the Six Husbands Trail below Mount Jefferson. We were looking for something challenging and new for us. We were unable to gather a lot of information about the climb but we did read some summer trip reports and got some good info off of some hiking forums. We spent a...

We are looking to do the Presi Traverse in late February/early March. We want to do the summits including Madison, Jackson, and Webster. Is anyone up for doing this with us? We are toying with possibly doing it in a super long day if weather and conditions are perfect or breaking it up and...

The weekend of Feb 6 we are looking to do the six husbands trail. The plan is to take Old Jackson Road from Pinkham notch and make our way to the Six Husbands Trail, summit Jefferson and then head to Washington and down from there to Pinkham. We are looking at doing this in a day. Has anyone...

So Don and I headed up to Kinsman notch on Saturday to do some climbing. We attempted one climb called the Luck of the Irish and ended up bagging it due to conditions. It was kind of hollow and we aren't super climbers yet so we found another climb just past it. It was a bit sketchy due to...

Don and I ended up in the Adirondaks for New Years. We drove up Friday and then had breakfast at Noonmark Diner before heading into the Canyon to climb. We ended up climbing Quinn the Eskimo which was a bit too low angle. We then did Midnight Cruiser and had a blast! We headed out and made our...

So, I have done the Pemi Loop in the winter and the Presi Traverse twice in the winter. I am looking for a new adventure. Has anyone skied the traverse in the winter? If so, what do I need to know. I will be using a split board (probably in ski mode most of the time) and my boyfriend will be...
