| zapacoman | The Weather Was Nice...Until It Wasn't ![]() Date Climbed: Sep 14, 2009 | |
| Caps Ridge Trail was fun with a couple nice vistas along the way. Just don't think that the top you are looking at is the actual top, because it isn't. Some scramblin' near the top made for a nice change of pace. | ||

| Hiked during a miserable rain/windstorm in November; as such, I was the only person on the peak that day. Still very surreal and worth it. | ||

| rasgoat | Clouds on top of Six Husbands ![]() Date Climbed: Jul 5, 2009 | |
| Hiked up into the Great Gulf & camped just past the Six Husbands Trail junction. Took Six Husbands Trail up (awesome) but the clouds were down to about 4500 feet and we couldnt see a damn thing till we got back below 4500 feet on the Sphynx Trail. The Spphinx Trail was tough going on the descent especially after such rains!!. loved the trails but missed the views. | ||

| Lips74 | Late Summer Storm ![]() Date Climbed: Sep 18, 2008 | |
| see Madison and Adams posts. Jefferson proved a mercifully short climb and a quick summit later in the afternoon lead to a long slog through the Sphinx Col and up to the Jewell Trail. Met up with a great hiker named David from Montreal on the decent. It was nice to get some company after 24 hours of solitude with only an ornery bear near Star Lake for companionship. | ||

| irennie | Wonderful Hike ![]() Date Climbed: Aug 14, 2008 | |
| Very fun hike and a good workout. We had things to do that afternoon so we hiked quickly and did it in under three hours. Beautiful views of Mt. Washington. After about 45 minutes of tough scrambling we were amazed to see a tiny weiner dog hopping around the boulders near the summit. | ||

| Climbed with Adams and Madison via the Gulfside Trail from Lakes of the Clouds. Great views during the entire day. We were the only people at the summit. The only problem was that with the suprising lack of wind came the black flies. Also got a terrible sunburn while returning to Lakes of the Clouds. I swear to God I will never hike without bringing sunscreen again! | ||

| syzygy | White-Out Date Climbed: Oct 14, 2007 | |
| My first turn back in the Whites. We hiked up to the perch shelter via Isreal the afternoon prior. Took Greyknob up. Just above Cornice the visibility was too low and we were unsure of the exact route. We turned back, circled around via Cornice to Castle and headed out. We were rewarded with one good view from castle ridge. | ||

| Grampahawk | Great camping on lower section of Castle trail ![]() | |
| We took the castle trail, backpacked in and planned to spend the first night camping out. There are some great camping spots about two miles in, along the streams to the left. You cross the first stream, hike in about another 50 yards, and there is another set of streams with a nice flat area. Doing the scrambles over the "castles" was fun and provides some great photo ops. | ||

| I summitted Jefferson when traversing from Adams to Washington. I went up the King's Ravine, and down the Great Gulf, then rode my bike from Dolly Copp back to the parking area for Adams. It was a loooooooong day. | ||

| This was a great day hike for a winter hike. Once you hit Edmond's Col, things always get fun. | ||
