White Mountains Hiking: Mt. Waumbek
Patrick and I headed out on 9/11 to hike Mt Waumbek. The trail takes you up Mt Starr King before a quick trip to Mt Waumbek. The summit offers little in the way of dramatic views but is a great easy hike for an NH 4k.

Andrew and I took a late summer trip to McKenzie Mountain just outside of Lake Placid. This was an interesting hike with some impressive scrambles and a nice lookout near the summit.
White Mountains Hiking: Mt Adams & Mt Madison
Переглядів 99Рік тому
Patrick and I ventured out to hike Mt Adams and Madison in the Presidential Range. This hike is a challenge no matter which route you take. We opted for the slightly more forgiving Airline Trail up to Adams and descended on Valley Way. The views from the summit are spectacular so be sure to pick a clear day to do this one.

Adirondack Mountain Hiking: Ampersand Mountain
Переглядів 2534 роки тому
Andrew and I set on a wild weather day to climb Ampersand Mountain. This short hike has its challenges as you approach the summit with some tricky rock scrambles. If you manage to make it through these you will be rewarded with a great summit view of the Seward Range and the Saranac Lakes
Adirondack Mountain Hiking: Phelps Mountain
Переглядів 4004 роки тому
My brother and I set out to hike Phelps Mountain from the Adirondack Loj. Hot temps made this normally simple high peak a little more of a task but we still managed to get through it in a timely manner.

    Redfield alongside Gray Peak Skylight and Haystack I took out in 6 hours of my 21 hour hike from the Calamity Brook Trail to the John Brooks Lodge and spent 5-10 minutes on top of each mountain Redfield’s now the only High Peak that I’ve done multiple times

    When I was there, it was initially foggy but after walking back from the summit the sky had cleared up enough that you could enjoy the view.

    I did Slide back in October. It was tiring for me but I made it to the top. But coming back down was hell because the new hiking boots I was wearing were a half size to small and my big toes kept sliding into tight squeeze at front of the boots, which became very painful as time went by. I ended up trading in for a different pair of boots that fit much better.

    Thanks for posting this hike. Great views from the top of Mt. Marcy. I did this hike in 2018, unfortunately in the rain. Cloud cover was very dense, could't see a thing! For me hiking boots are a must, I need the stability so not to roll and ankle. Love the Adirondacks for hiking.........

    I'd wondered about this trail. Had to orphaned Porter when I did Cascade (was my first hp and had no idea what I was in for or anything about the 46 at the time). Been thinking about trying this route for Porter when I go back for it. Thanks for filming and sharing, very helpful for planning!

    Hi Chris, nice video, I watch these before the climb, yours is one of the most detailed and I appreciated it very much, but I to still hit the deck on the stupid slide even when you said it was oil slicked! No bridge across opalescent river, went out in November 2019, I guess there’s no plans to replace it. I don’t think I will be doing Allen again, trail all along lake sally was non stop mud.

      @chrisnyman9258 3 роки тому

      If you plan on doing alot of hiking anywhere then boots are a good investment, sneakers just simply do not hold up well to the terrain and conditions commonly found in the mountains, ive worn the same boots for 4 years and they are still in good shape

    Awesome video! Can't imagine doing this in the rain. Some friends and I backed up here in July 2020 to camp overnight. We set up base on the peak, but there was a windstorm so we had to move down to some pines right below the peak. Still walked up to the peak once we moved camp and boy was it windy!
