One more...
The north peak of Slide Mountain in the Sentinel Range. Spruce and fir growing inches from each other. This is the peak south of the old trail that comes out form Holcomb pond off River Road, T/ North Elba

Kilburn summit from the top of the slide.
Marcy via Point Balk and Little Marcy.

I thought the big question was....

"What is the drink with champagne and orange juice?"

My answer would have been 'Buck's Fizz', an altogether more amusing name I think than Mamosa.

John

I also did Kilburn truly nasty and not recommended. It is on the 100 highest list of the ADK.

To add to your list here are some more 100 highest uglies

Blue Ridge Mt

I will also not suggest anyone in their right mind bushwhack up Blue Ridge Mt in Schroon Lake, near Hoffman. That was nastier than Kilburn. Cripplebrush so thick one has to "ball up" and push through. The view is even worse it was limited to seeing only those with you.

Wolf Pond Mt

Another less punishing but equally aweful is Wolf Pond Mt from the summit of Boreas.

Stewart Mt

It is near Kilburn but far better with an open forest along a northern approach. There are open ledges with some views.

I will suggest an easy one, Cellar Mt found in the Moose River Planes area. The approach is via the Cellar Pond Trail and following a ridge from a height of land. It has a rather interesting forest some views and a rather easy ascent.

As for the rest on your list I'll take your word for it and stay away.

What a difference a route makes...peak_bgr, Bushwacker and another friend and I did Wolf Pond this Spring. We came in from the SSW. It was really nice open woods until about .15 miles from the top. It then got a little cliffy and thick, but not of epic proportions.

AntlerPeak--are you working on the ADK 100 highest? or have you finished? There is a group of us pecking away at them. Brian (bushwacker) and I have 80 of them. Are you interested in joining our twisted little group of self abusers? PM me and let me know.

Spence

I decided against that after wrestling with a few that a friend dragged me up. The last one was Blue Ridge in Schroon Lake very ugly. I think my friend has one left in the Sawteeth range. I understand there are a few that present problems over private property etc. At least my friend had some difficulty getting permissions with a few.

I especially like Neil's idea of a night bushwhack.
