| Free soloed the Trap Dike and slabs to the top. No view, almost white out conditions. It snowed all day and there was a consistent 30 mph wind. | |

| Great hike and the Trap Dike pretty straightforward if you do your research. Next time I will have to go down the slide on the other side. | |

| By far, the greatest way to climb this mountain. Done it twice and would do it a third if I get the chance again! | |

| chrisbrown | Super thick fog!!! | |
| Went up the slab with my dog and we hiked into to the clouds. Could't see 10' ahead ad was amazing! The top was incredible windy, rainy, and cold! Loved the slab | |

| ScAtTeRbOnE | Great Loop Hike Date Climbed: Sep 20, 2010 | |
| A loop hike from South Meadows TH to summit, down via Lake Colden/Avalanche Lake. Fall colors were nice, Avalanche Lake is one of the most breathtaking spots in the High Peaks. | |

| gintherj | Winter Fun Date Climbed: Feb 13, 2010 | |
| Winter camping in the daks. Stayed at a lean to on lake Colden. Ascent was simple, but nice weather turned bad towards the summit, and the views were obstructed. | |

| JimWallace | Trad Dike in the rain! Date Climbed: Sep 25, 2009 | |
| This was a tough hike.It was pouring rain,so the dike was really floeing hard.I was debating on climbing it,but friends from NYC said lets go for it.Lets just say that I made my peace with God that day.The only route was straight through the crashing cold water.At times I though that I was gonna bite the big one,but all worked out.We pushed our way up and then exited too late ending up bushwhacking to the summit.This was probably the best adventure that I've done yet.It really made me feel alive....Jim Wallace | |

| Moose023 | Avalanche Pass to Lake Arnold route... Date Climbed: Sep 12, 2009 | |
| Hiked via Avalanche Pass, Colden summit, Lake Arnold to Marcy Dam loop. Great day even though the entire summit was boxed in with a heavy mist that prevented us from getting any real great views. A rainy day in the 'daks is better than a sunny day at work and I guess we'll just have to do it again in nicer weather... | |

| I would recommend the Trap Dike Route. Totally doable for novice hikers. Just be careful where you exit the route. | |

| Climbed via the Avalanche Pass Trail from the Adirondack Loj. A Great hike that traversed some of the High Peak's most rugged and spectacular terrain. Was suprisingly windy at the summit. | |
