| AlphaRomero | 5 in one weekend! Date Climbed: Jun 15, 1978 | |
| In June '78 I knocked-off 5 peaks with my Scout Troop and a great leader that hooked me on wilderness adventures (Dix, East Dix, South Dix, Hough and McComb) | |

| tigerlilly | Dix to Hough Date Climbed: Feb 19, 2012 | |
| Elk Lake to Dix, over to the Beckhorn over to Hough. Steep and fun. Lots of good views. perfect winter weather. One of the nicest winter hikes I've done. The day before we got Macomb to South Dix. | |

| jpbourque | Long day, late start  Date Climbed: Aug 21, 2011 | |
| Did Dix as a day hike from Round Pond. When crossing the border, the US Customs Agent told us that we wouldn't be able to clim Dix in a day (we started at around 10 AM), but we did! Took us about 7hrs. Hot day, with nice view from my first peak of this range. | ||

| ScAtTeRbOnE | 1st time to the Dix Range Date Climbed: Jul 11, 2011 | |
| My first trip into this range was great. Hot and hazy but still great views from the deserted summit. Took the Beckhorn trail up and descended via Hunters Pass. Cooled off in the streams on the return. | |

| PaulRomano | Dix Range Traverse Date Climbed: Jun 27, 2011 | |
| Did this as part of a one-day Dix Range Traverse. Came up the Macomb slide and then through the herd paths to South Dix, East Dix, back to Hough, and up to Dix. Beautiful sunny day with a few clouds here and there. Stunning views in all directions from the Dix summit and Beckhorn! | |

| forgues9999 | great hike Date Climbed: Sep 22, 2000 | |
| Nice long hike, but the view from the top is worth it. Different perspective from high-peak region | |

| stokel | First Winter High Peak Date Climbed: Jan 3, 2009 | |
| My friend lugged me out to go on my first winter hiking trip over spring break. It was after this trip that I was hooked on hiking, the Adirondacks, and determined I should finish all 46 High Peaks. | |

| MattGreene | Cold night | |
| February 2010 - drove up Friday night, hiked to the leanto, then summitted early the next morning. Can't wait to go back to do the others in the area. | ||

| Enapai | Route Climbed: From Hunters Pass Date Climbed: Oct 1, 2010 | |
| Crazy day of hiking following the remnants of a tropical storm dumping up to 5 inches of rain in the area. Were going to do Allen - but with the bridge over the Opalescent being out and flash flood warnings, revised our plans for Dix. Slide Brook, Lillian Brook, and two brooks after the split from the Beckhorn Trail made for interesting crossings. Water was noticably lower on our way out. No views, but we were pleasantly surprised at the moderate grade the hike thru Hunter's Pass takes. Fun day hike with Ron and Nick. 44 of 46 and 103 of 115. | |

| WhiteInVermont | Overnight | |
| Great hike to escape crowds. I hiked in and stayed in the lean-to by the base of the mountain and climbed to the summit in the morning. The climb is steep but definitely fun. The slides around the area are unique and impressive. The view towards the Gothics is also one of the best. | |

| TLP | via Beckhorn Date Climbed: Jul 4, 2010 | |
| I finally got a Fourth of July summit. It was still partly cloudy when I got to the summit. The sun would break through at times though. You could still see into VT. Good views, just not great for taking pictures because of the clouds. The way down wasn't that fun, because it started to get hot, and the bugs came out with a VENGEANCE. Being tired from a long hike, time started to drag on. You soon forget all the misery when you're back home though, and are planning another Adirondack adventure... | |

| lalpinist | The Sun Was Trying Date Climbed: Sep 30, 2008 | |
| The sun was trying to peek through as we summited with moderate wind. This was the first trail marker we'd seen all day, having approached from the N. Fork of the Bouquet R. and climbing the other four Dixes first. | |

| Tahawus | Dix Mountain Date Climbed: Sep 10, 2005 | |
| Climbed via Dix Trail from the Elk Lake Lodge. It was a long hike but definately worth it. The final push to the Beckhorn was totally exposed providing sweeping views in nearly every direction. Attempted to hike over to Hough but decided to save it for another day as darkness was only a few hours away. | |

| starship_jen | Elk Lake Date Climbed: Mar 15, 2008 | |
| Hiked with Paul on a 5 peak string. Did the entire Dix range in 22 hours. Summited Dix in the dark at 3:30am. No views because of the dark and blowing snow. Neat peak though. The Beckhorn was pretty cool. #32/46. : ) | |

| The Ogre | One of my faves Date Climbed: Aug 18, 2006 | |
| Also 9/29/07, and hopefully this winter 2008. I've done all five both times, and the southern end of the range (3 summits) in winter. | |
