Here's a brief trip report from my first ever Presidential Traverse: Started out at Appalachia on Friday and hiked Madison & Adams. A storm rolled in while on Madison so I quickly descended to Madison Hut. By the time we got to Adams, the sky cleared up. Camped at Gray Knob hut. The...

Congratulations, all! I'd like to hear everyone's opinion on the DP versus the Pressie traverse. I'm kind of jealous I didn't do the DP that same day but in the opposite direction. But my weekend in the Whites sure made up for it. :)

Thanks, Jay! I'm glad you reminded me cause I almost forgot...

Tyler, you're sick in the head! :D When are you coming down to the Catskills to show 'em who's boss?

Friggen fancy pants intellectual from Joisey! Why doesn't he just go back home and mess around with his own thousands of square miles of protected forests, swamps and wilderness areas!

The dead guy was found just off the Suffern-Bear Mountain trail in Harriman, a few miles south and east of 17A.

Glad you enjoyed your trip! That strip of the AT from New York into NJ along the Bellevale/Bearfort Ridge is awesome, isn't it? How far south did you get along the Kittatinny Ridge?

Does the New York City marathon count? :D

Hardcore! Glad you went for it and made it. I'll definitely consider doing this loop in the near future. Maybe this summer!

Num num num! Do they make beer flavored ice cream? :D

From one Swede to another: jag ar sa ledsen for din forlust. :(

They have tours every weekend. :) Always wanted to check it out.

Might be interested in doing AHP if I'm not doing a bigger, more arduous trek.

Something in the Southern Catskills, definitely. Peekamoose and Table are probably the closest and they can be done pretty quickly. But if you want something more challenging and longer, there's of course the classic Friday-BC-Rocky-Lone-Table-Peekamoose traverse in the same area. About a 30...

Ty, let me know what your plans are, if you decide to do a hike in the Catskills and then hit up Kingston. :)

By the way, best view of the Shawangunks and Catskills from the Highlands is hands down from Schunemunk. :D

Looks like a fun hike! First time I did Bull Hill, I descended into the valley between Bull Hill and Breakneck Ridge, completely unaware of the existence of the Cornish ruins. It definitely was a pleasant surprise. :D

An acquaintance of mine was in Huntington Ravine and witnessed one of the individuals falling. Apparently, the person fell head over heel, some 1,000 feet. The guy fell quite a distance, caught himself, then fell again. The guy I know could have sworn the person was a goner but ended up...

#10 looks like it could be BC or maybe even Doubletop. I think Doubletop though, since I remember the slope adjacent to the canister (to the right, in this picture).

#3 is the Spooky Forest below WHP.
