Bits and pieces of my 590 mile ride along the NYC/Albany/Buffalo portions of the Empire State Trail. This is my first of hopefully many vidoes to come!

The sound I heard was closer to a laser. In the moment, my mind thought it was either the ice expanding or aliens shooting at me 👽.
I have the same Atlas 30s! Love them!
I had no complaints! It’s bonus that they match my pack 😊
Nice! It didn’t snow in CT/MA for the first 3 years since I purchased them, and the time I needed them the most (West VA) I left them in the car!
They put the boards on the back deck too close together and when they freeze it sounds like a gunshot. Almost shit myself a couple times! I can imagine the lake too! 😂
Phelps I've done twice and was my 17th High Peak Tabletop I've done once it was my 20th Algonquin I've done twice it was my 4th High Peak Marcy I've done twice it was my 3rd High Peak and Skylight was my 10th High Peak and Gray was my 9th High Peak I've done twice they were involved with my 21 hour hike last year I did them alongside Redfield who was my 8th High Peak(I've done Redfield 6 times now) and Haystack who was my 11th I plan to do another hike on really soon
Awesome video. Nice editing and looks like you had a great trip. That's a very tough hike
Thanks for tuning in! It certainly pushed my body to it's limits.
Big trip and you had pretty good luck with the weather in the end. Well done!
Thanks! You’re spot on. I attempted the nearby Pemi loop exactly 2 years prior to this trip and I recall that the Presidential range was hit with a pretty bad blizzard. I certainly lucked out with the weather this trip!
