Was climbing this morning, snow melting fast and just about gone. Yesterday even on Cliff herdpath and summit ridge snow was gone but still a fair amount on the Lake Arnold Trail and lots of evergreens bent over and often broken on that section of trail, but ADK/DEC crew is already out clearing...

Yes, I drove to Lake pLacid today and not much going on along the Cascade Lake road, just one short section was one lane immediately after Keene and work seemed completeled by late afternoon. Military Road is construction most of it and it's hard to believe, specially the bridge over the Chubb...

Only 10 days ago a helicopter dropped materials on Boundary, not to worry or hope this is not to build a “resort” on the MacIntyre Range. “A proposal was brought to the Forty-Sixers at their meeting last fall to fund an ADK pro-crew to install bog bridges between Boundary and Iroquois in what...

Found one boot, size 10, LL Bean, looks new and was lost a few minutes before Marcy Dam likely yesterday (Saturday February 23). Can be pick-up at the Loj High Peak info/store center (ADK) located at the parking lot.

"RAY BROOK — Three men who survived a plane crash in the High Peaks wilderness Thursday evening were rescued by rangers who reached them by snowmobile and snowshoes. But some confusion over their location complicated the effort."...

Awesome pictures, thanks for sharing!

Bandits having a great time in the mountains.. way to go, thanks for sharing the pictures!

Wow, there is snow, the SEWARDS are back! At this point no bare booting to Emmons or Seymour, this year it’s snowshoes only from the get go. Those conditions are kinder to our old bones and the landscape is magnificent. Still, though the gate is supposed to stay open till March 1, 2013, it is a...

In today's paper: "Heroic effort saved climber’s life" http://www.adirondackdailyenterprise.com/page/content.detail/id/534619/Heroic-effort-saved-climber-s-life.html?nav=5008

"This just becomes another lesson learned for the participants and the observers." We all wished it was only that! The seriousness of the rescued climber injuries makes the event a life changing mistake.

Read it and found it as self-serving as enlightening and feeling really/very sorry for the hurt climber, had no idea what he was getting into following so-called experienced climbers and is the one who got hurt big time! We know it already but for sure life ain't fair. Mind you there is a...

Here an article of mine from a 2011 climb of that slide: http://www.adirondackalmanack.com/2011/08/climbing-the-nippletop-slide.html

"The ordeal began 4 p.m. Saturday when a member of a four-person hiking group fell 150 to 200 feet down a slide on Nippletop Mountain. Members of his group tried to call for help, but with limited cell-phone service, they were unable to reach emergency workers. The group split up, one climbing...

Great ladders, thanks for the pictures!

"of limited value to peakbaggers, yes?" ABSOLUTELY NOT! Just looking at map one cannot fail to notice the number of peaks accessible from the Boreas Ponds. Henderson Lake is now a busy but still peaceful place in the summer because of its breathtaking scenery, the same and even more so can be...

"Not every pond needs a road to it." ABSOLUTELY!

"The proposal also would require the state to close a long dirt road that leads to Boreas Ponds, which are among the former Finch holdings that the state intends purchase over the next five years." At this point and for a variety of reasons it's highly unlikely the road will become wilderness...

Could be what is in the soil/rock! Happens a lot in the Adirondacks, when lucky one can found North in every direction all the while going in a straight line!

félicitations!
