Damn, as much as we'd like to be there that weekend (always wanted to stay there), I'll be in Clearwater, FL at that time. Crap..................

Dude, the video ROCKS. Hope you don't mind if I provide a link to it. Seriously, the coolest think of the hike I think so far.

If she hasn't, we both know a couple whacked out climbers who have :D . Straight up the gut of this drainage that looks (from the bottom) like a shear cliff. I marvel at it evertime I walk by it (includig the other day). How was it? It was described to me like this..... "Hell, hath no fury like...

Great job Sponge.......... we added you to the confirmed finish list once the Sant/Panther group reported your sighting in the range :D I'll put a list this fine report to the growing LIST . Thanks to all of you for making the long trek on over and joining us in the celebration for Grace.

As some of you may know, last Sunday (August 26, 2007), many forum members participated in a celebratory climb to honor Grace L. Hudowalski's 70th 46er completion anniversary. We attempted to put a different person on each summit that day. (BACKGROUND INFO HERE ) Far to many reports to list on...

CCB has lots of blowdown from the Oct. 05 storm. Prolly wanna wait til there is a deep snow cover. It was much nicer a few years ago (prs 2005)

Thanks Doc - This -PICTURE- of yours is a perfect illustration of the rocks we had to scale up (and return down). As for the route, we followed your route (logically since our beta came from your partner ;) ). We missed on the Marcy cone, but musta been real close. We we under the last 150'...

This is terrible, I can't believe you "supposed" responsible hiker would advocate this silliness in the precious mountains. You're all horrible people and shoud be ashamed of yourselves at the thought of such foolery. Do you have any any idea what the smell of grilling meat, gently wafting down...

Terrible news. My heart goes out to you.

Yes, that is Rist. Thanks for the kind words about Nick, both you and Alan. We do share a bond. It goes beyond hiking, it really does. We enjoy each others company. I have a similar relationship with my daughter I'm pleased to say. We're so much alike though, it's a bit more tumultuous but...

Okay, that might be an over-dramatization, but let's say, things didn't go according to plan. I generally don't write TR's anymore, unless there is something of interest or education, and this trip does qualify. We're up in Placid vacationing for the week and after a few hikes visiting old...

Yes, I was talking about the ridges that run between Slide, Slide (N pk), Kilburn and Stewart. They are terrible. I should have been more clear. We actually went down to Monument Falls on the ridge BS is talking about. She is right, It was not bad at all. We called it Moose Ridge, cause when...

I traversed over from Slide. You just got to lose elevation and shoot right up from the East side. The East side of the Sentinels is pretty friendly (for the most part). Stay off the ridges.

I'd actually suggest Black Bear, near Inlet. Bout the same lenth as Blue. Steep little sucker, w/ good views. There's a firetower on Bald (Rondax), but that hike is about 20 minutes up, 15 down.

We've had the last few adkhighpeaks winter gatherings at the Ark Trail. They are quite satisfactory and certainly close enough to Keene for most people (within 2-3 miles). It ain't the Hilton, but I'd recommend them.

Almost certainly a black bear. Somtimes I notice that the pinky toe doesn't almost make a deep impression (like the other ones do). Here's a similar EXAMPLE (but you can see the faint outline). Same thing with claws, unless its on a real good surface, they can be hard to see. The front and...

Bring water on the Dix hike, particulaly on a warm day. Not a lot up there and you will use if it's warm. I agree, the two hikes are comparable.

No, but I'll try to use my iPhone to check my mail and do a little web browsing next time I'm up there. If I'm able to get on, I'll send you a PM. ;) :D Sorry, I can't help it, I just love the thing. On a serious note, I'm not familiar with that one in particular, but on a general note, if...

Fairly dry on Santanoni last week, we did bushwhack most of it though. The parts we did do on trail were not bad.

Awesome, I'm in....... Ummmmmm, what does Nom d’utilisateur: mean :D :eek: ;) I'm jealous. I shoulda paid better attention in French class. What I really need is another Forum to belong to. :rolleyes: Anyhow, Good luck with it.
