| Lots of rain in the days prior made the route mroe closely resemble a waterfall, but it was great fun. Rime and wind up top in the clouds, no view. Guess I will have to come back! | |

| First hike in the Dak's. Great day, great hike. Except for the cloud sitting right on top! Boo! Went a day after a heavy rain so the way down was pretty slippery - and a good amount of ice and wind on top. | |

| jtellis | record heat Date Climbed: Aug 31, 2010 | |
| VERY hot day, in the mid- to high 80s all day. Hiked with my wife and had a short, but nice, rest at the top. Really wanted to do Iroquois and Wright, but we just didn't have enough time. Maybe next time. | |

| Hiked up from Loj via the yellow trail. Weather was iffy, but I decided that's when one can get some really neat pictures. Just above treeline I put on my jacket. About 45 temp and 30 mph winds and almost able to touch the bottom of the clouds it seemed. Went up Wright on the way down. Great day! | |

| Snowshoed up from the ADK Loj. Weather on the summit was bitter but clear. Great views of Colden and Marcy. Returned Aug 2010 to hike the ridge to Iroquois and Wright. | |

| Bkoziol3 | alot of clouds Date Climbed: May 24, 2009 | |
| a weak cold front brought with it some clouds that clung at about 4500 feet and up. it decided to clear about 2PM.. an hour after i had started descending towards Avalanche Lake.. no views was a disappointment. a lot of scrambles on the way up and even more ppl up top when i arrived... | |

| peak was great as expected, on the descent we criss-crossed a roaring snow melt stream multiple times, the highlight for me. | |

| MtnLdr | Great Overnight! Date Climbed: Feb 21, 2009 | |
| I'm pretty sure I was successfull. It was nearly whited-out, with a pretty hefty wind. Great time though, broke trail for about two miles, had the mountain all to myself. | |

| MorganF | First Mountaineering Expedition Ever! Date Climbed: Dec 12, 2008 | |
| It was a beautiful and COLD Lake Placid morning. I had just bought tons of ice climbing and mountaineering gear without ever having set foot on a snowy mountain or climbed an ice cube (i'm from the south). The day was about 10 degrees and sunny. The climb was flawless and easy. 40 mph winds above tree line brought the temp down to about -20 wind chill (the coldest i'd ever felt) but we summited in light westcomb jackets and a few baselayers. I wasn't even cold (probably adrenaline) even though a guy with an exposed face had gotten minor frostbite on his nose (get a clava dude!). It was a perfectly clear day and we could see for miles and miles. We forgot the camera, go figure, but it wouldn't have worked anyway. Too cold. Great experience and a perfect first climb. | |

| friday | First High Peak in the Adirondacks Date Climbed: Jan 2, 2009 | |
| First High Peak, and first peak in the Adirondacks! Not much snow until the turnoff to Wright's Peak. Very steep hike after that. Crampons needed after the tree line. It was windy, snowing, visibility limited to a few dozen yards, and possibly the coldest temperature I've ever been exposed to outside. But, I had a blast! Can't wait to get back to do a few more peaks in the area. | |
