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.

14 in 2014: The Epic, the Mud and the Cloud Cover
Who can believe it that hiking season came to a close a month ago. I’m still feeling the itch to be back on the trail but with the short (and cold) days I’ll have to satisfied with dreaming/planning of next season in the … 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

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

After 5+ years enjoying all that the Green Mountains have to offer, I felt the itch this summer to start tackling the Adirondack High Peaks. My Grandfather, Uncle Bob and Uncle Rich all spent many a summer hiking all 46 … Continue reading

Colvin and Blake. Done and Done.
A three-day long weekend in October equaled another great chance to check two more mountains off my list: Colvin and Blake. I loved Colvin – beautiful Gill Brook Trail does not disappoint. Several hard scrambles but nothing too bad. And … Continue reading
