Unsupported ADK 46 Traverse

[ColdRiverRun]

On September 7th at 4:35am I (Cory D) started out from the Sewards parking lot at the end of Corey’s road with my good friend Jan Wellford. Our goal was to arrive at Whiteface and Esther roughly 7 days later. Our path at some point would take us over all the summits on the 46er list via one continuous footpath: a distance of about 196 miles with 65,000 ft of elevation gain.

You can follow the story along HERE.

Can't wait for the rest!

Congrats Cory and Jan!!

I'm glad you had such wonderful weather, but I'm thinking you may have saved some time if you didn't shoot such an amazing gallery of photos to go w/ the adventure. Of course I'm thrilled that you knew I'd love pics w/ the story. Great report.

You can't surprise me! I bet you have another lap planned for this winter!!

IOf course I'm thrilled that you knew I'd love pics w/ the story. Great report.

You can't surprise me! I bet you have another lap planned for this winter!!

Should I tell everyone how I not only carried my pack but your chap stick over the Santanonis last winter. I couldn't believe how excited you were that you didn't have to carry that damn chap stick.. jeez:

 

[iceNsnow]

lol!!

Where did you get THAT shot?? I think someone had a gun to my back to hike w/ YOU!

When you do the winter round you'll need an extra sled just for the chapsticks!

Keep on topic. I want to hear more about the big adventure!

Fantastic! Talk about raising the bar for trip reports.

I've just lost an hours sleep reading that lot!
Hopefully I'll only lose 10 minutes tommorow when you finish the next leg!
Nice one Cory!

 

[Tom Rankin]

Wow, take the person out of that picture and it looks like a bunch of puffy clouds!

This is a total throwback to the serials that used to be published in newspapers by the likes of Hemingway and Steinbeck.

This rocks. Way to go.

 

[prino]

Great.... I can get to bed early tonight!

That's one heck of a "Great" Grandfather! A few good memories and you had all the mental motivation you needed!
Well written!

Hey Cory!!

Looks like it is time to quit the day job - you should be either an Extreme Hiker, a Writer or better yet, an Extreme Hiker Writer!

 

[Little Rickie]

You should submit this to Backpacker, it would be doing them a favor. Great read!
