Yes. Have done Greylock from each of the 4 points of the compass. Cheshire Harbor/Gould most recently. Few pics from the spring of 2018. Mount Greylock

FWIW, the comments are pretty harsh on the 50 States Highpointing Facebook Group as well. I didn’t see anything anywhere that this guy is a highpointer though. One highpoint does not a highpointer make. Having said that, Humphreys is a cool mountain in its own right. Can’t believe it’s been...

After a four day break. Interesting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXj_3sVWjDQ

2022. Nothing big. Prolly gonna close out the New England Fifty Finest mostly because I feel obligated to do so. Bored with lists but yet I just can’t stop. One NEFF up on the Vermont/Canada border and then another four up in way up yonder Maine. 2023 is a different story. Hoping to summit...

Impressive effort through the Kinsmans today. Looking to put the Whites behind him tomorrow. Impressed with both his “winter weight” and fantastic attitude. Like he says, the low snow year is definitely helping his progress but there have also been some beastly cold days. Came across a SOBO...

Job security. The Rangers should be thankful. Although, all too frequently, it seems they’re not.

Good luck, Grey J!

Congrats to those who have checked in thus far. :) In 2021, I spent all of my hiking time in New England - Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire - with not a single hike logged in my home state of NY. Mostly obscure prominence-based stuff … completed all of my remaining Northeast 2,000-foot...

^^^^ :D Happy New Year!

Aw, c’mon dude. You could buy like two or three pairs of roller skis with your social security check and still have plenty left over to blow on a half day lift ticket and a slice of pizza at the lodge. Rookie Roller Skis

LOL. Sounds like a call to testosterone! We’re gonna do our best to make crap skiing conditions sound like a challenge to the brave! And make you pay lots of money for bragging rights and the right to buy overpriced food. I’m just as anxious to ski as the next guy, but if I wanna do it in...

Might want to brush up on your urban dictionary, old timer. :eek:

What year was this? When I climbed it in 2015, there were no improved facilities at any of the camps. We used the clean mountain can system and constructed our own facilities (or moved into an abandoned one) at each of the four camps in addition to basecamp. Clean Mountain Cans

Camp Schurman, Mount Rainier on the comparatively lightly trafficked Emmons Glacier route. My own photo from July 2016.

Now THAT was a great flick. Fantastic storytelling. Incredible spirit. As to the parents thing, I can only conclude they must have done a stellar job in raising him as he became someone who went on to do incredibly inspiring things in the mountains, chasing his dreams with conviction. It...

^^^ Well, it’s fundamentally objectionable/offensive to refer to the Sherpa as a collective devoid of individual personality characteristics across the generations. Think of the vast differences between an American Gen Xer and Millennial and then consider how that compares to a Sherpa on a...

The AMC invented glamping 90 years before it was even a word. Not my go-to on wilderness ethics issues. LOL.

I love the fact that I’ve never before heard of this person.

Compared to say “Meru,” which was all about the push to climb a single line on a single mountain peak and allowed you time to really be in the same place as the climbers themselves at least in terms of imagination, this entire documentary seemed quite frankly disjointed and weird. The military...
