Howdy! I'm headed for Seymour to capture my 46th winter high peak on Thursday, March 17. I've got one friend going with me, but we'd welcome others who might like to tag along (or break trail, 'cuz I'm not so fast, anyway). We'll ski as far as my skiing skills will allow, maybe all the way...

Maybe we'll overlap . . . I'm a winter 45er! I've got one more to do--can you guess? Seymour! I've been planning to try to get Seymour in a day trip on one of these dates: Mon-14th; Tu-15th; Thu-17th; or Sat-19th. If you're going in on the 17th (or out on the 19th), our paths may cross...

Congratulations! Congratulations, Ed, on making your winter 46! I would have offered you more encouragement on that open face of Carson (So. Dix) had I know you were about to finish!!! I did Carson, McComb, & Grace (in that order) on Saturday, which leaves me only one to go for my winter...

Isn't it great to have Allen done? Neil, Contratulations on summiting Allen! I went up Seward yesterday, and my hike, too, was a death march (got back to the parking lot after 11:00 p.m.). Still hoping we can get together for MacComb, Carson & Grace! Rick

Yes, they did . . . . PinPin Jr, Yes, I believe they did summit Seward from the North! I went up on Sunday, Feb 6, with my friend John, & we went up Seward via Calkins Brook. We decided to go down on the North side, and followed the tracks that let that way--but they did not use the...

. . . or Sunday? Mark, If John's Saturday trip doesn't work out for you, you're welcome to join me on Sunday!

. . . and another thing . . . John, Oops, forgot to mention--I have a sled, too! I like the idea! Maybe I'll do that, too! (That also opens the possibility of riding down some of the hills on the road!) Let me know if you plan to do Seymour this winter, too!

arg! I'll see if I can re-arrange my schedule to go on Saturday (that may be a challenge at this point!) However, I may have a friend of mine available to go on Sunday (he won't know until Friday). So, I'm not sure what I'll do yet. I'll let you know if I decide to go on Saturday! Rick

I'd like some company going up Santannoni & Panther on Thursday (Feb 3). Anyone interested? I'm planning on getting to the trailhead around 6:00 a.m.

Ah, the long and winding road . . . . I could be talked into this one! I've got seven left to finish my winter 46, and Seward & Seymour are two of them! I got up Donaldson & Emmons with AlG in December, before they closed the gate. Seward on Sunday? I usually can't go out on Sundays, but...

"The best laid plans . . . . " I've gotten lost in the message traffic! I can no longer keep track of who's going when! But, in general, to Neil, Gremlin, MLepore, Rik, skidocc22, AlG, and anyone else who's paying attention . . . . Yes, I'll go for those Dix's before March 21, Neil, and I'd...

More details? Doug the Gremlin, When exactly are you heading up on Feb 11-13? With a 3 day window, it sounds like you're planning on camping (yes, no?). I may be able to go on the 11 or 12, depending on my son's condition (he's have surgery earlier in the week, and I won't go hiking that...

What more can I say? I read your questions, and was (mentally) prepared to answer them . . . until I scrolled down and saw that others already answered all of them! So, all I can really add is my validation--everything the other guys said is true! I liked the new cross-over to save that...

As of 01/06/05, I have 7 peaks left to finish my winter 46: Seward & Seymour (correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the road has been closed, so these could be a looooooooooooong walk!) Santanoni & Panther MacComb, South Dix & East Dix (I'm thinking of going in from Elk lake, up the...

Thanks for the positive feedback! When I last checked (as I leave this reply), 264 people had read my posting, with 6 replies (2 from skidoc22--thanks for the ride!). Wow! I've never had so much exposure to the reading public! Thanks for the positive feedback, the encouraging words, and just...

I have twice stood at the base of Little Haystack (in winter), and turned back due to the severe weather and exposure, or because it was too late in the day to be sure I could be off the open rock before sunset. This was to be the third time I’d go for the Haystack summit in winter. We met as...

Gee, our old LaSalle ran great . . . . . . . Those were the days! So, the title was a little corny, but I earned that right on Monday!!! Pvon, the wild North American Inge claimed to have completed the hike that day in 7:25 (to show that she beat Pin-Pin). I can only dream of keeping that...

Dark and ominous, she loomed above the surrounding countryside, visible only occasionally through the rising mist. Shrouded in clouds and snow, her summit remained hidden, as though expressing her desire to remain inaccessible. Far below, in her shadow, four lowly hikers marched toward her in...
