The difficulty is defining who the "real users" are. Reminds me of the old expression "where ya stands depends upon where ya sits".

Good to know.

That's probably the reason the only helicopters I've seen in the mountains are ANG.

Before this thread gets too far off track - as for who pays the expenses for medevac helicopters for mountain rescues- I think the answer is we all do with our tax dollars, as they are National Guard helicopters.

It reminds me of this: https://www.weather.gov/btv/25th-Anniversary-of-the-Devastating-1998-Ice-Storm-in-the-Northeast

Why not call the ski area and ask them what their policy is?

Thanks for posting this. He's lead a remarkable life.

There are some links to articles written by Phil Brown. I think he's a bit of an expert on all things "ADK".

According to the link above "Meier was taken “from the trailhead by [a] personal vehicle for evaluation of her injury,” so it could have been a friend or family member who did the driving.

I don't have an opinion. I've done the ADK 46's, but not Trap Dike.

Is parking for Artists Bluff across the street from Cannon? In the scores of time I've climbed Lafayette and Lincoln, I've never climbed Artist Bluff.

Good memory, Thom. I used to deal with Climb High when I taught winter hiking skills and we bought Dachstein mitts and socks from them.

Thanks. Am familiar with Scarpa, but not Fabiano.

I didn't either, so I looked them up. They're a brand of alpine hiking boot, full welt. Probably cost about about $400 new. The type of boot you get repaired, not replaced.

"the stick man was not there". That was the logo which was just replaced.

My advice is to call Pinkham. My sense of that most of the people on this board do not make multiday trips between huts.

It's too busy. I prefer the Sierra Club's style.

I agree.

A few years ago I had the opportunity to climb Ben Nevis in Scotland, and was amazed at the quality of the treadway on the lower half of the mountain. It has a real pleasure.
