Has anyone been into Marcy, Skylight, or Gray recently? I am curious as to what conditions are besides ice, ice and more ice :D I am sure Microspikes down low and Crampons for higher elevation are in order? Thanks, Adam

Has anyone tried these boots? Adkdremn recommended them to me so I bought them. I have been wearing them for a week now just to get them broken in and they seem to be very comfortable. I plan on doing a small hike in them this weekend on some steep terrain to see how they feel. Right now...

The eight of us left the Peggy O camp at about 7am March 21, 2011(Ed, Barkeater, BobN, Ike, Ryan, Keith, and Ed's son Bob) We made great time to Slant rock under light flurries to heavy snow at times. Also, the wind was prety bad. We could hear the trees banging overhead. Once on top of...

Ryan and I left Corning, NY at 5am and arrived at the Garden a little after 11. Our intended schedule was to meet other fellow hikers at Peggy O and hike Basin and Haystack the next day. WOW what a day so Ryan and I unpacked and decided to head for LWJ. The temps were in the 40's and the wind...

PICTURES Well after injuring my knee in the Seward Range a month ago it was time to take to the trail again. So Ryan, Barkeater, Bob, Ed, Commission Point and myself met at the parking area of the Ausable Club around 6am. This was my first time meeting Ed, Bob and Commission Point and what a...

Just wanted to let everyone know that Marshall is broken out if you want to give it a shot. There is a trip report up if you want to read it before it gets buried in the NE stuff :D

Well my week started out less than perfect. On December 19, I stepped on one of my daughters toys and sliced the bottom of my left foot wide open. I have had plans to do Marshall with Dean G. since the summer and there was no way I was going to cancel this peak. So on December 21 I wrapped my...

I never thought in a million years I would ever say this but I am going to miss winter hiking and cannot wait till next season :) I had the best time this year in the ADK. I climbed a total of 15 peaks for a total of 16 for my winter round :cool:

With all this new snow that the ADK has just recieved we are going to need a lot of trail breakers for this beast. Right now we have around 15 people heading out from the Upper Works lot where the site of the old furnace is. Start time is around 430am next Saturday. Hikers are: Dean G IKE...

PICTURES The night before we were headed out I got a call from ADKDREMN that he was not going to be able to make the Friday trip due to Work obligations If we had not told Cold Feet we were meeting him at the trailhead Seth and I probably would have slept in instead of leaving PA at 330am...

-PICTURES- Date: 2-6-09 Hiked: Cliff and Redfield Location: Hiked in from Loj Party: Redshorts and wife, their old college friend Steve, Procook, El Loco, Viewseeker, adirobdack46r, 1ADAM12 and the WHIZ BROTHERS! Our start time was suppose to be 4am but by the time everyone got situated it...

Two weeks ago the temps were in the 0F range and my camera had trouble working. So I tried putting a hand warmer in with the camera to keep it warmer and it seemed to work great. Anyone else use this technique to keep their camera warm in winter? Seems to work :)

My head lamp is stuck in the on position and will not turn off until you take the batteries out. I called customer service and I am sending it back to them and they will either fix it or replace it. Sounds like this company stands behind their products too. :)

OK I just saw the weirdest thing outside. I live in PA just over the NY border and to the East I can see a gruop of stars that are turning colors. They are turning from blue to orange to a green. They are either stars or something from not around here :D The sky is crystal clear, there are...

I know my trip report will probably get lost in the White Mountain mix so I thought I would share my photo's here as well :) PICTURES

PICTURES Dean G., IKE, and I set out at 430am from a full parking lot. We were the first on the trail this morning as others seemed to be getting around. We made great time under head lamp to the blue trail and made it to Panther Brook just as the sun was starting to rise! Pictures do not do...

I know I am a glutton for punishment but Dean G. and myself wll be hiking this Saturday. Start time will be 4am. I am going back and finishing what we started 2 weeks ago. I am hoping that with the Canadian group getting all three peaks cleared last weekend and with very little snow this week...

How many calories do you think one burns/hour in the winter hiking a 4k peak? This conversation came up this past weekend when we were in the Santa Range in the ADK. Thanks, Adam

Has anyone read about this guy? Pretty amazing!

OKAY so I was wondering how many of you keep your great girlish figures 365 days a year and yes this goes for the men out there as well :D Last Feb. I tried climbing Colvin and Blake and got turned around just short of the summit after being exhausted and dehydrated after my water froze...
