| Hike up Colvin was ok, unseasonably warm, but snow conditions were brutal over to Blake and back, postholing, snowshoes I had didn't help, tough trip glad I made it though, wish I could do it in mid-winter to go across Ausable Lake. | |

| It's surprising how far from Colvin this seems when you actually hike it. Great day, solo, no one around ... | |

| TLP | meant business Date Climbed: Aug 17, 2010 | |
| So the first time I did Colvin, it was in the snow, and I wasn't even aware that Blake, right next to it, was on the ADK 46er list. I wasn't exactly going for the 46 then. So I decided to go back and do Blake and Colvin again. I was too tired from driving all the way from NJ, and not getting enough sleep from working overnights, that I got Colvin, and said f&^k it to Blake. THIS time I meant business and made sure I had enough sleep and energy to get Blake, no matter what. And that's just what I did. | |

| JimWallace | Long day Date Climbed: May 12, 2009 | |
| This was a very long day of hiking over 22miles climbing 5000ft +.After climbing Dial,Nippletop and Colvin,Blake was no easy challenge.Once on the summit there were only partial veiws to reward .The hike in was very wet and rugged as well as the trek out....Jim W | |

| Im fairly confident that I made it to the summit, but cant really be sure since there were no views. There are a few cool little slabs to negotiate on the way (and back) from Colvin | |

| Climbed with Colvin via the Colvin trail from the Ausable club. Beautiful fall colors along the whole way. Limited views of the Great Range from the summit area. Stopped by Indian Head on the way down. | |

| As usual--a beautiful fall day in the mountains. Hiked Colvin & Blake with Paul. Relatively steep in some spots and some areas where I used my hands just as much as my feet! Good times. 6/46 | |

| I now understand why the trail from Colvin to Blake (and back) is so popular! Some mud, despite a long dry stretch, and some wonderfully annoying rocky stretches with limited hand holds and plenty of opportunity for slipping. The trail wasn't crowded! | |

| hillman | Route Climbed: from colvin and back Date Climbed: JUne 29 2003 | |
| How about them views? My favorite part was having to fist jam that crack on the way back up colvin. That sounds kinky. | |

| climber46 | Route Climbed: Trail from Colvin & back Date Climbed: July 19, 2002 | |
| I managed this hike fairly quickly. The terrain on the southwest side of Colvin is very rough and somewhat steep. Blake has only minimal views. | |

| mavs0 | Route Climbed: Traverse over from Mt. Colvin Date Climbed: July 2002 | |
| Views? Nothing, Nathen, Nada. If you like trees then this is your mountain, cause that's all you'll see from the top. It's is a pretty tough trip over (given what awaits you). It's steep off Mt. Colvin and possibly steeper up Blake.
