| Weekend Warrior | Route Climbed: Caps Ridge & Cornice Date Climbed: August 11, 2002  | |
| Absolute perfect day to climb in the presies. 68 degrees on Washington. Planned on going up Caps Ridge, then heading over Gulfside to Lowe's Path & up Adams. Return via Israel Ridge, Gulfside, Cornice & Caps Ridge. About 10.5 miles in all. Caps Ridge was moderate compared to other trails in the Whites. Some difficult areas to scramble up but nothing too tough. At the top, there's some rock hopping to the summit but nothing out of the ordinary. The Cornice is a moderate trail skirting around the summit cone of Jefferson. Just a ton of more rock hopping. Definitely pick a good day to do any of the Presidentials as the cairns can be tough to find in poor visibility and weather is well-known to be very dangerous in the Presidentials. Gorgeous views altogether. | ||

| GuitarWIzard | Route Climbed: Northern Presidential Traverse - Gulfside/Jefferson Loop Date Climbed: 6/25/02 | |
| Third summit during the Northern Traverse.....going uphill seems to be getting much easier for some reason. In fact, I never thought I'd say it, but I'm starting to prefer it compared to descending....perhaps because the rocks are starting to beat the ever-living crap out of my knees. The Gulfside trail between Adams and Jefferson blows. Since there's currently no mountain listing for Mt. Clay, I'll add that one under this....Mt. Clay was perhaps my favorite summit of the Northern Traverse. Gave outstanding views of Mt. Wahington, and the rest of the N. Presidentials. It was at this point where one really starts to get a feeling of accomplishment during the hike. | |

| I've been up Jefferson many times with many different people in many different seasons. I'm looking forward heading back to the Whites sometime. | |
