My memory was correct, at least in regard to Trap Dike, Don Mellor rates it as Class III. It sounds like the new guys rate it Class IV. Grade inflation or sandbagging?

P.s. What? No love for Blake Peak as the best hike in the Adirondacks?

Umm - I'm guessing not. Thank god I was with good company, or that hike would've been miserable.
