One helluva effort, guys. North Brother is always challenging but this time is over the top. The bent-over trees are a real pain.

No problem. Dog must be on leash, Eastern High Peaks.

The problem is that Johns Brook Lodge sleeps 28 people and they all park at the Garden, some for days. They usually come out mid-morning, after breakfast. Then there are some openings for parking, but later than most day hikers would want to start. ADK also rents lean-tos and two cabins on their...

You have demonstrated the precision of the measurement, but isn't the real question the accuracy? There must be many assumptions in creating the mathematical model which does the calculations. This is a difference of only 0.1% to a model position of sea level. Has the model been thoroughly...

If you are looking for more ice to make it more sporting, I know plenty of peaks to recommend.

Zealand road gate is closed, today, December 7. Same for Haystack road to N twin TH.

REI has all MSR snowshoes 25% off November 13-23.

I see they went back to the older style binding (black base with conical points) which I think is more secure and reduces forward boot slipping while descending. Also, the dark gray opaque straps seemed to be less-stretchy than the translucent ones. Retailers like the Mountaineer wanted these...

The great weather and a new season were reasons for me to break away from the Adirondacks for a few days and visit the White Mountains to work on my fall list. Besides, it is never too early to begin preparing for winter. My base of operations was in Lincoln where good lodging and food are...

I was there Saturday. Softening snow down low, but plenty of it, and great snow conditions higher up. I was first to the summit and had to bushwhack to the sign--the trail/track was completely gone. Snowshoes.

A word of caution on using GPS while hiking: Be careful not to walk into trees or step off cliffs when your attention is focused on the little screen. :)

I keep an eye on eBay for used (sometimes new) evo ascents, but I have acquired three pairs so I am set for a while. I also have some spare bindings, but they seldom break. With them being discontinued, I am surprised there are not more being offered on eBay.

I was doing the same trip in the other direction on the 25th, and passed you once on the ridge and again on the bike path. Penny is hard to miss; glad she made it safely. Descending the FST took a lot of attention. I don't know if I saved any time vs. going back to Liberty and down the better...

Have you tried installing Garmin's BASECAMP program, which is currently supported. I think Trip and Waypoint Manager has been discontinued. That may be the source of your drivers problem. BASECAMP can handle your file transfer needs with the GPS and do a lot more.

By altimeter (Garmin GPSs seem to overestimate ascent) the total ascent for the Bigelows (out and back) on the Fire Warden trail is 3320 ft for 10.8 miles.

My newer storm shuts down when you press the button for 6 sec. Then it won't come on accidentally. Was yours an older model? Now,you must hold the button down to reactivate it. I am happy with it except it is difficult to reduce the intensity without shutting it off. I keep a Spot deep in...

I don't think there is an "easy" route to LPP, but some are harder than others...nice work.

I was up to both this weekend and roads are in great shape. No problem for any motor vehicle. If you are around Rt 28N in Newcomb, the road is being paved and there might be short delays. But then, the awful condition of 28N caused delays anyway...

If SeamGrip can't fix it, it is hopeless. Great product. I use it for everything, especially fixing holes/rips in clothing. Never tried it on a tent :)
