Winter summitTook deer brook trail, to white trail...breaking the whole way. So it took a lot longer than expected to travel the 4.5 miles. Still made it though, pretty decent views.

In 70s; Once in winterMost memorable time was in the height of black fly season; I waited for other members of party for 2 hours, nearly went crazy. They came back to find me running through the woods, wearing a poncho wrapped tight around my body.

Rt. 73 (Deer Brook) -> Hedgehog -> L. Wolfjaw -> Wolf Jaw Lean-toHiked in solo with full pack at 4:30am while it was still dark. Sun was up before I made it to Hedgehog. I had meant to take the more direct route that avoids the long trip past Snow, Rooster Comb, and over Hedgehog, but I made a wrong turn and caused myself a lot more work and lost time. High Peak #9.

Lower Wolf Jaw MountainClimbed with Upper Wolf Jaw via Range Trail from the Ausable Club. Decent views of the Great Range and a cooling breeze were the rewards after this hike on a hot late-August day.

What's in a name?I climbed this with my father over Thanksgiving in 1996 (give or take a year). The only thing I remember about this peak is its name.

Slide SkiingMy first time out in the BC. It was a fun experience and i learned a lot about BC Skiing. Bennies slide is defiantly worth the effort to ski. Didn't get up very far due to avi. danger but a great day out non the less.

1st 46'erThis was my first trip to the Dack's. Hiked with a buddy and his brother-in-law in fresh now. Great intro to the mountains, was an effort in the snow.

Sawteeth, Gothics, Armstrong, & Upper WolfjawThe last of 5 peaks in a day. Tiring, but a sense of accomplishment. Wet, muddy, slick but nice hiking. 11/46
