About Me
I’m a 30 something living in the metropolis of Burlington, Vermont. Grew up on edge of the Adirondack’s and set packing for six years to the beauty of Montana after high school, to care-free NYC for a couple of years (yeah I didn’t last long – I’m not a lifer) and now in Vermont and settling some roots down.
I’m just starting to hike the ADK High Peaks again and want to document that journey. Will I make it to hitting all 46 of them. Not sure. I’ll probably also post on other things. We’ll see how it goes.

Mud Madness: Mt Marshall
With daylight hours running short and few hiking days left I decided to tackle a single mountain and get another “trail-less” peak off my list. Mount Marshall probably isn’t one of my favorite hikes – but still enjoyed some nice lake … Continue reading

Dial and Nippletop: Sun at last!
I’ve had a rough run of it the past couple of hikes with cloudy, over-cast hikes. Unless, you can be flexible and hike mid-week depending how the weather is shaping up that is just how it goes. But the last … Continue reading

The Jaws: Upper and Lower
Another weekend meant another chance to climb, albeit not the best weather I could of asked for. When summit reports were saying temperatures were dropping to the 20s and 30s I thought they were exaggerating. Calling for winter hats and … Continue reading

A Teasing Lover: Rocky Peak Ridge
Hiking the High Peaks you begin to develop a relationship with “her”. Some days she gives you all the beauty and happiness you could ask for. On other days, she is like a teasing lover, teaching you a lesson and tempting you … Continue reading

Grandness: Sawteeth, Pyramid, Gothics and Armstrong
Another June weekend brought another chance to head to the Adirondack’s and work on a portion of the Great Range. Wow. Seriously just wow. The Great Range really offers some “Great” views! The only thing I’m not crazy about is … Continue reading
