Presently working on the 770(777) list and while doing so decided to also do the following sub lists:
1. New England 50 finest which I completed on Smarts(NH) in 2006 on 11th Nov.
2. Northeast USA 50 finest which I completed on Black (NY) in 2009 on 18th May
Would now like to pursue those lists up to the 100 most prominent peaks (lists here posted). BTW has anyone completed those lists besides Roy Schweiker for the NE 100 finest (actually he completed the top 150) and Roy, John Thompson, Bob Packard & myself for the Northeast 50 finest? No one has done to my knowledge the Northeast 100 yet, so the race is on!
