Sorry for the short notice.......
We will attempt Upper Wolf Jaw and Armstrong tomorrow (2/11/05) from the AMR via the Wedge Brook Trail/Range Trail. We plan on arriving at the public parking (Rt 73) by 7:00 AM. The round trip distance is approximately 13.4 miles with 3720 feet of cumulative ascent.
Our hiking pace generally is 2 MPH for each mile traveled and 1 MPH for each 1000 feet of elevation gain. For example, Algonquin Peak from Heart Lake; 8 miles RT = 4 hours of hike time; 2938 feet of ascent = 3 hours hike time. The round trip hike time (excluding rest/snack, photo ops, summit time) would be approximately 7 hours. We prefer to remain together throughout the duration of the hike so we would welcome others willing to respect and comply with our protocols. Our hikes are relaxed but purposeful with occasional rest stops (more on ascent than descent), snack breaks, quality summit-time (when possible), photo ops along the way and generally longer ascent time than descent time. Winter snowshoe hikes may require more time. Obviously full winter gear, snowshoes, boot crampons, layered synthetic clothing, wind protection and accessories are the responsibility of each individual. A post-hike dinner frequently is included in the plans.
Anyone interested, please contact me by 8 PM this evening.
