Not aware of any fatalities in the Presidential Range since the last three listed from 20 June, 1 August, and 25 August 2022. Please elaborate.

I spent a bit of time looking for pre-existing Native American names for those other peaks that you list, but could not find any, so no need to rename them, in my opinion, just the tallest one that already had a name, before the White Man renamed It. This thread has a long way to go to catch up...

Again, making my point. 🙂

I am sure that the post by maineguy is correct. But, my opinion is that naming boats after mountains is dumb, as would be naming mountains after boats.

Will anxiously await your firsthand report, skiguy. 🙂

Yup, a really embarrassing typo that I will need to deal with for the rest of my life. Will fix immediately.

The “old peak” is really easy to miss now, as the trail to the “new peak” is no longer the sketchy herd path that it once was.

So, the name of the USS McKinley should be changed to the USS Denali?

When I sent Gene my list of completed wNEHH peaks for the patch back in the day, I must have mentioned that I was beginning to work on the NH4s grid that got me a four-page, single-spaced typed letter in return imploring me to be more creative and come up with a better hiking objective. I did...

You are making my point. If the USN wishes to recognize a former president or a famous state geologist, then use their full names, such as USS William McKinley or USS Josiah Whitney, rather than the names of mountains, which seems dumb to me.

I like the advice to check the weather the morning after your overnight stay at Madison hut and then if the weather is bad, maybe just tackle Mount Madison and/or Mount Adams, and then head down. Then drive around to the Cog Road USFS Ammi parking lot and hike up the Ammi Trail to Lakes of the...

The “Mount” part of the boat name makes no sense to me.

Maybe peakbagger is listed as a “staff member” during some probationary period? I have no idea. But, I think that this group is as good as any to chime in on the mountain re-re-naming petition. If not us, then whom? 🙂

I believe that peakbagger may have been the only one to answer the call for moderating assistance a couple of months ago. If it were not for peakbagger’s continuous stream of informative and sometimes provocative posts over the past many years, I think that this site would have died a long time ago.

Black Pond bushwhack is used throughout the year, although early in some winters the track is set with a better route than in others. I think that the Brutus bushwhack, which begins just after the third major crossing on Lincoln Brook Trailm counting from where the Black Pond bushwhack joins, is...

Brutus Rooney and his entourage got a special waiver to use the ski entry to the Kinsman Glades and the upper Vista Way ski trail for his completion of the All 48 in One Winter Season. Sadly, Brutus was required to hang out on the outside deck while the entourage was inside the summit Tram...

So boring to have one of 15 peaks in North America named Mount Washington, including five in Washington state alone. We even have a tourist boat on Lake Winnepesaukee named the Mount Washington, which is particularly lame.

And, Mt Pleasant became Ike and Mt Clinton became Pierce. When will Mount Truman be approved by the BGN, or has it already?

I remember hearing about the Kanc 7 logging project, but have not read any published results. However, there is a plethora of literature at the U.S.F.S. Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest website that summarizes results from their experimental logging practices on different sub-watersheds in the...

The alternative Abenaki spelling is Agiochook, so only four syllables (Mount can be dropped as superfluous), just like Mount Washington’s four syllables. Florida’s CNL Financial Group, which owned the Mount Washington Hotel in 2011-2012, patented the name Mount Washington, but only for hotels...
