I just got back from a very rewarding week in northern Vermont and over the course of 6 days I climbed 6 peaks. Four were NEFFs, Two were CHPs (of which one was also a NEFF) and one was an M.
After a gorgeous Memorial Day weekend, the weather was wet from Tuesday till Thursday, but so what. Here is what I managed for each day:
Sunday: Donovan's Red
Monday: Long Trail Brown
Tuesday: Long Trail Amber
Wednesday: Coke (sorry!)
Thursday: Otter Creek
Friday: Gracies Amber (as only served at Gracies in Stowe)
What? Oh yeah, the peaks. Well I did say six pack. So here are the peaks:
Sunday: Battery Hill, Burlington. Elevation 300', prominence 0', distance 26.2 miles, #15 on my M list
Monday: day off
Tuesday: Gore Mountain, Avery's Gore. Elevation 3332', prominence 1994', distance 7.6 miles, #26 on my NEFF list.
Wednesday: Worcester Range HP (Mount Putnam), Stowe (with Meo). Elevation 3642, prominence 2472', distance 8.6 miles, #27 on my NYFF list.
Thursday: #1 Mount Butterfield, Orange (with Tramper Al and Denis). Elevation 3167', HP of Orange County, distance ~2 miles bushwhack plus 2.2 miles road walk in.
Thursday: #2 Signal Mountain, Groton (with Tramper Al and Denis). Elevation 3360', prominence 2140', HP of Caledonia County, distance ~ 2 miles bushwhack plus 2.4 miles road walk out. # 28 on my NEFF list.
Friday: East Mountain, East Haven. Elevation 3438', prominence 2227', HP of Essex County, distance 8 miles. # 29 on my NEFF list.
Total distance on foot: 59 miles.
Total distance driven: 604 miles.
PS: There were virtually no bugs! I think I got all of two bites, both at the campsite Wednesday night. The mountains and trails were bug free!
Here's some pictures.
Still chasing those boring 4Ks, 46ers and HHs? See what you're missing! Individual reports to follow.
