| Left Slant Rock to climb haystack, relax a bit and down to lake Tears of the cloud to do a rapid ascent-descent of Skylight (missed it last year when doing Gray). We then went on to climbed Marcy. We had the summit to ourselves and the stewart. Super day. We climbed down to Slant Rock. | ||

| Hiked in and stayed at Bushnell #2. Topped out at 9:30 the next morning. INCREDIBLE views of the Great Range! Spent an hour alone on the summit with light winds and warm sunshine. Worth the effort and may be my new favorite HP. | |

| SLinehan88 | beating the rush Date Climbed: Jun 30, 2011 | |
| Hiked in from the Garden. It's a fairly long approach and the last couple miles get steep. It didn't help that the trail has become a creek in many places. Wind on the summit was knocking me off my feet, but at least it was clear weather. I wanted to get a good hike in before the holiday weekend. A total success. | |

| crag | From Lake Colden via Marcy, 1994 Date Climbed: Aug 20, 1994 | |
| Camped at Lake Colden for a week. Hiked from Lake Colden to 4 corners, and up Marcy in the fog. As we ate lunch on the summit a break in the clouds opened up and by the time lunch was over the sky was clear. We enjoyed a beautiful sunny afternoon as we traversed accross to Haystack, down through Panther Gorge, and back to Lake Colden. Long, hard day but definitely worth it. | |

| MattGreene | Enjoyable Slog | |
| Lots of peace and solitude trudging through the snow to bag this one. | ||

| mike_lindacher | Best Summit in ADK? | |
| Likely the best pure summit cone, and definitely the longest walk out of any High Peak | |

| Part of a solo trip from Slant Rock. Steady rain ruined any views. Hope to do it again in a couple of weeks! | |

| Brian Pierz | Number 15 - "End" of a Long Day Date Climbed: Jun 18, 2010 | |
| This was the last stop on a long day hike, previously hitting UWJ, Armstrong, Gothics, Saddleback, and Basin. I was joined on this adventure by Mr. Steve and Mr. Baio. This was #15 for me. | |

| Enapai | Route Climbed: Slant Rock loop Date Climbed: Jan 7, 2010 | |
| Spent two nights at Peggy O'. 12 headed out for the summit (10 made it). Winds were extreme (50+ MPH). One guy had his glove blow off while traversing Little Haystack. Fun climb. One of the group finished his W46 on Haystack. Temps were warm so the wind chill was not too bad. Glad to have an ice axe with me today since I managed to forget my crampons. Views were awesome. Also hiked from Slant Rock in 1995 during the summer. | |

| JimWallace | Mt.Haystack Date Climbed: Sep 24, 2009 | |
| Despite a very rainy summer in the ADK's,the weather for this trek was super!Haystack was mighty and valiant,but along this trek on this day I felt to like Basin Mt alot better.No doubt about it,it was nice,but I prefer to look at Haystack,rather than look from it.....Jim w | |

| Tahawus | Mount Haystack Date Climbed: Jul 6, 2006 | |
| Climbed with Basin and Saddleback via the Range Trail from the Garden. A long and difficult approach. The views from the top were as good as it gets. After spending about half an hour on the summit we continued along the range to avoid a rapidly approaching storm. | |

| rasgoat | Whooo! Date Climbed: Nov 11, 2007 | |
| Yup, this baby is deep into the Dack's. Hiked from the Garden where the was only traces of snow. Camped near John's Brook Lodge and summited folowing day. Great hike and astounding summit. Certainly one of my personal fav's in the northeast. There was 6-8 inches of snow on the summit and we broke trail to the top, AWESOME! | |
