| tigerlilly | President's weekend  Date Climbed: Feb 16, 2013 | |
| beautiful conditions. fresh powder. trail packed down by snow shoers ahead of us. blue sky. no wind. a gorgeous hike quite peaceful. not the drudge hike I thought it was going to be. Had a banana Gu shot when we got to the swamp. that helped. Once you reach the swamp, you are half way...then 3 false peaks. It's a good trail for short people. Got slapped square in the eyeball by a unforgiving spruce. Wear goggles or something! enjoy!!!! | |

| Bkoziol3 | Santi Range Date Climbed: Jul 5, 2012 | |
| Climbed after Panther before Santi. Kind of a thankless peak. | |

| mike_lindacher | Couchi-Coo | |
| I reiterate mavso, lonely little outpost in the ADKs with glimpses into some very remote sections of the park. | |

| Enapai | Final peak of the range - the normal way from Times Square Date Climbed: Jul 5, 2010 | |
| Skies looked threatening, but being so close, did not want to pass on the chance to be done with the range. Great day with my brother and sister (who did not go over to Couch). Never saw a drop of rain. Very dry, found no water till back down at Panther Brook - even the bog was tame. This leaves Seymour, Allen, and Dix for my 46. | |

| JimWallace | Good day in the ADK Date Climbed: Aug 16, 2009 | |
| This was a long day hiking Santanoni and Panther the same day.The summit of coochie was surprisingly packed with people.For being far and remote this one grabbed attention.The summit rock is only ,say 12x12ft,but held 15 people.I thought the veiws were ok too....Jim W | |

| Ajellodude | Bradley Pond to Times Square | |
| This was my first winter backpacking trip. I realized how much I loved snowshoeing through the trails and up mountains, but how much I hate freezing at camp. Great mountain... long, rewarding trek to get there | |

| mancopa | Herd Path from Times Square Date Climbed: Sep 20, 2008 | |
| Wow, this one was a pain. A lot of hearbreaking down hill sections, a lot of mud, and a lot of branches in the face. It felt like I got in a catfight. But the peak offered nice views. We did this round trip ( from times square ) in 2 hours. | |

| Tahawus | Couchsachraga Peak Date Climbed: Aug 12, 2006 | |
| Climbed via the Duck Hole Trail from Tahawus. A long and muddy approach. The herd path was so narrow and muddy it was sometimes very difficult to negotiate. Good weather and suprisingly decent views from the summit made this "fake" 4000-footer worthwhile. | |

| starship_jen | From Times Square Date Climbed: Feb 23, 2008 | |
| Climbed with Paul. Harder than I thought. Lots of spruce traps and getting whipped in the face by rogue tree branches. Nice sunshine at the top though. #27/46 | |

| dogberry | Climbed via herd path from Times Square Date Climbed: Aug 5, 2007 | |
| It's a great little mountain in the middle of nowhere. Perfect for those who like mud more than crowds. | |

| Oldmountain46R2549 | Route Climbed: From times sq. Date Climbed: Aug 30 1987 | |
| Why people think this is a bad mt. I don,t know.Eighteen yrs ago this was one of my favorite mts.No heards of people,winning kids,craping dogs and the like.When you sit atop "Couch" you are in true wilderness,enjoy it. Just don,t go "Peak Baggin".My son and I will be doing Couchsachraga this summer and I can,t wait ! | |

| I thought it was a great hike. I thought the views back to Santanoni were great. Lots of flying bloodsuckers on top though. Incredible thunderstorm on the hike out. | |

| mavs0 | Route Climbed: Via Bradley Pond Date Climbed: July 2003 | |
| Felt the opposite as climber. This is a gem of a hike to a lonely little outpost in the ADKs. It rare to be this far out and we enjoyed every minute of it. | |
