I agree wholeheartedly. As for summit indicator (sign, etc), I tend to agree with the PREMISE, that an indicator of some sort does assist climbers in quickly identifying the summit location, which may prevent damage on CERTAIN summit (like the ones Christine describes). Simple pragmatism...

If there is a an "representing agency" or other official enitity that is authorized to makes the determination to maintain a view in an effort to limit degredation and damage to a ecologically fragile ecosystem, such as the mountain slope, boreal system occupied on these summits (at least in the...

Here's a LINK to the original thread. There is some interesting stuff from Mark S in there. Great pics Joanne.

ahhhhhhhhhh, It must be winter. I'm not sure what I enjoy more. The snow and the majestic beauty of the Adirondacks in winter, or Trip reports from Alain and his favorite Rabbit.

I went up with the aforeposting Peak_bgr....... It was more fernwhacking then anythig else. Delightful bushwhack, aside from the 8 mile walk out. Also, it rained so hard that day that we tiptoed accross Ermine brook going across, we slogged accross mid-calf a few hours later. The 6-8 inches of...

I've always wondered about that one :confused:

Not bad, with plenty of time left to go to. we'll have to keep bumping this. Sign, sign, sign......

Get cracking then, It won't too long :D Summitpost, I'm impressed.... That site is a great info site.

JT, Not to get technical, but actually the list first came out in 1972, in the 8th edition of the ADK Guidebook. That was edited by Don McLaughlin. I believe Tony's primary role (as new editions rolled out), was to update and refine the list according to the most accurate USGS. Perhaps Tony is...

Awesome, we'll add you two to the ever growing list. Nice....... Gonna be fun.

60 miles due east in Rochester, and we didn't see a flake. Okay maybe 1-2, but they never hit the ground.

Nicely done. That sure sounds like a lot of whacking.

Dudley, That's sounds perfectly logical.......

emphasis on *MOST*. Apparently when it come to mushrooms, there is the false presumption that poisonous mushrooms "look," "taste," or "smell" undesirable. According to research I did related to that case, I recall coming across some testimony from survivors that reported the poisonous Amanita's...

I'm sure you guys all know what your doing........ However, if I can throw in a tinsy word of caution for us "true" amatuer mycologists out there. AT ALL COSTS, make sure that the identification is positive before you stick it in your mouth...... Specifically, make sure it's not a Amanita...

About a month ago, we had a day to kill in the seattle area before a late evening flight home. So WE DROVE the perimeter road from the SW gate out past the NE one (near sunrise). I remember thinking the whole ride around it... "Damn, this is one big-a$$ mountian, I wonder how long it would take...

I can relate....................... My son finished at 13 too. I can remember the pride I felt as he walked on his 46th summit (Whiteface) a few years back. It almost made me forget I was walking up mine too ;) . FF a few years and we're still out there, hiking and bushwhacking together as much...

I cannot speak for this site........ I do not have any editorial control over it. On my site (which admittedly was a hotbed of discussion about it, and which may be why I am defensive), I quickly deleted EVERY reference to the persons name. In discussions with administrators of this site, I...

As a matter of record....... Actually, it wasn't just dozens of trees. According to official tally, it was over 150 trees, with over 250 individual hacks. And no, they won't heal in time. Over 100 were judged to have been damaged irreparably and will die. And while perhaps not rising to the...

If your referring to the Couchsachraga incident with your "Stripping bark off a tree" comment, then your obviously as clueless as your post makes you sound. The offenses there were way beyond a little ugly paint on some trees, as they rose to CRIMINAL levels. Blazing is ugly, but it's not...
