ADIRONDACK 46'R JOURNAL

From 2010-2012 I made a goal for myself to reach the highest 46 peaks in New York State over 4000 feet. The list of these peaks is well known and a select group of about 8000 people or so have now completed the feat, known in the area as '46ers'. Not being a resident of this state or country, I would have to commute 4.5hours one way on weekends to attempt this goal. If you're not familiar with the Lake Placid area, it is one of complete beauty with numerous activities abound: skiing, golfing, road biking, fly fishing, etc. 

The hikes to reach the tops of these peaks are technical hiking/scrambling with eroded trails that head straight to the top without a single switchback. Most hikes ascended 2000-4000 feet in one push, and
took over 25 days of hiking, and the average length of the hike was 9 hours. I summited in every month of the year, and navigated the unmarked trails successfully.


To read more about the hiking tales and learn more about the 46 peaks, I created a blog as proof I could submit to the ADK 46R organization. The link below will take you to my site:
