ADVENTURES HERE & THERE : A PERSPECTIVE

Mount Washington, NH - 04/08 : A great 24hour-and-a-bit alpine adventure. A Pinkham Notch based, AT-Gear powered hike & ski of the Gulf of Slides area. The route included a side-trip to Hillman's Highway & vantage points along the way. We put aside sleep deprivation and enjoyed large dosses of mud, rock, brush, corn snow, rain, fog, cloud, and a small dose of sun. http://www.chauvinguides.com/washskimap.htm

Mount Marcy, NY - 02/08 : An epic 16-mile round-trip slog to the summit of New Yorks highest. Over the 23 hours, the weather was all over the map & combined with the terrain, made for a memorable experience. The wheels started falling off while trying to stay warm & well fed @ Marcy Dam. Used up all matches trying to get the stove lit, which was also our source for melting H20. No dice. Only ourselves to blame for this one though & we did manage to patch things up well enough to carry on. As quoted January 1937 in The Ski Bulletin, " The Van Hoevenberg trail up Mount Marcy from Heart Lake is not a good downhill ski trail... .It is, however, a very good trail to ski." I'd have to agree.
