Gothics via Ausable Club

[ADK4Life]

Does anyone have the exact mileage for this trip? Its very important and I cant get an exact number. This would include the 3 miles on the road.

Where is your car going to be parked?? There are a couple of different spots.

At the giant trailhead right near the road you take up to the club

Just curious... why is the exact mileage so important?

Also, there are several routes to Gothics via the Ausable. Via Pyramid? Beaver Meadow Falls? Wolfjaws and Armstrong? From Roostercomb on?

ADK, this is what I figured, based on mileages obtained from the ADK high peaks book w/accompanying map: If you were to go up Gothics via Pyramid it would be just about 4 miles of road walking to the trailhead and then 2.7 miles up the Pyramid trail to the summit of Gothics. If you then looped back down the Beaver Meadow trail, it would be 3.4 miles from the summit back to the road, but app a mile closer to the highway, so you'd only have around 3 miles to walk back, for a total of around 13 miles or so. When my wife and I did Sawteeth a couple weeks ago (same starting point for Gothics via Pyramid), the Gate keeper told us that it's 3.5 miles to the lake from the gate and there is at least another .5 mile or more from the parking lot to the gate.

I have someone in the group that is more concerned with the milage of the trip than the actual difficulty so I am trying to get an accurate number for her.

When I read a list of the 46 high peaks with the milage and ascent of all mountains the Gothics come up as 10 miles and 4070 feet

I think it's 10 miles from JBL (the other side of the range).

I don't know where they get the 4,000' gained, either way it's just over 3,000'...
