| tigerlilly | Gale Force Winds!  Date Climbed: Feb 17, 2008 | |
| Holy Smokes! Didn't stay on the summit long! A fast moving storm greeted us at the summit. Crawled along on hands and knees. If not for a little spruce I hung onto during one gust, I might not be typing this right now!!! Made it down safely. WooHOOO. Good practice for Denali! I'm guessing 60+mph winds. | |

| MattGreene | Brutal Wind | |
| I climbed this mountain with my pal Tony's wife, Chris. The wind was brutal. The arctic conditions of the Adirondacks never cease to amaze me. | ||

| Spent the night before at Marcy Dam Leanto. A friend met us in the morning, and we hit the summit with cloudy, cold, windy conditions. The hike out through Avalanche Pass was unforgettable. | |

| What a beautiful winter day. Sky was void of clouds as we started hiking. Clouded up as we got to the summit. Made for som interesting orange and red hues on the coulds when looking east. Awesome views of Marcy and the McIntyre Range. Colden is one of my favorite hikes in the 'Daks. Also summited in the summer via the trap dike, as a sunset hike, and from Lake Colden. This is a mountain that is not to be missed. Gotta love the balanced rock. | |

| Great winter climb. Some snow slogging with vertical ice in the dike and then wind blown snow/ice on the summit slab. Great car-to-car climb. | |

| pmlupi | Route Climbed: Via Lake Colden Date Climbed: October 13, 1996 | |
| Spent two cold days bagging the High Peaks. Hit Algonquain, Coldon and Gray, spent a brutally cold night in a lean-to then hit Skylight, Marcy and Phelps. We were past peak for the foliage thus making this a cold, overcast and gloomy adventure. Bitch of a climb up from lake with heavy packs. | |

| Ascended via the Trap Dike and main slide. A great grueling summer climb. Wind and rain picked up once we reached the summit. | |
