Got this neat little book for christmas (thanks, MichaelJ). Tales of adventure and misadventure in the Adirondaks. Author Peter Bronski.
Ran across a reference to "lively discussion" on VfTT..related to a NPT thruhiker who died in the Daks, parallel story line to McCandless...
...in any case, a good read. Very interesting historical account of first ascent of Trap Dyke in 1850--which was the simultaneous first ascent of Colden. Neat to learn that in such recent history the High Peaks were first climbed.
Can be found at The Mountain Wanderer, for those interested.
Happy Trails,
Sabrina
