Alpinista's AP Peakbagging Story

Davehiker · Dec 26, 2004

It looks like hiking, peakbagging, and VFTT are recieving some great press from Alpinista's peakbagging AP story in today's papers. It's a great read, right on page 3 of my Worcester Telegram. Here's a link to an on-line version from the Boston Globe.

Congratulations, and thanks, for a job well done!

Lisa,

Excellent job with the article. Well written! You also picked a fine one to finish on. The views from Isolation are breathtaking...

Lisa,
Great story, very inspiring.
Let me know if you are ever in need again for someone to haul up a flap pole for you to fly your flag for Flags on the 48, It would be my pleasure to do it again.

Happy Trails

Rockin'!

Wow! I'm so stoked that the article is showing up in all these places. I even got an e-mail from a fellow out in San Diego who did some White Mountain peakbagging when he was a student 30 years ago at UNH, and had seen the piece in the paper out there.

It was the toughest thing I've ever had to write. But it ended up also being a lot of fun to try to convey to non-hikers why we all get out there.

Thanks to everyone here on VFTT for your sage advice over the years, the encouragement and your friendship. And thanks for keeping tabs on where this article is appearing; I'm stuck in Virginia at the moment (no snow here!

) and waiting to get a flight back to snowy Boston.

Happy Trails, everyone!

Lisa,excellent job!
I found the article while cruising through the paper Saturday. Read through most of the article before I realized who wrote it. What a pleasant surprise!

Well what do you know!

I hadn't checked in here in quite a little while and when I do--I see this thread.

Wonderful and well-written article Lisa! Glad I caught it!
