| Lenny72 | Mount Lafayette Summit Date Climbed: Nov 19, 1995 | |
| Did this mountain as part of the Franconia Ridge loop; an 8.9 mile trail over 6 summits, including Lafayette. Cold, icey, very windy, exhausting, but exhilarating with excellent views of the Pemigewasset Wilderness when the weather is clear. | |

| dpryan999 | Valentines Day Massacre Date Climbed: Feb 14, 2009 | |
| Girlfriend and I went up on Valentine's Day 2009. Great views of Cannon and the Kinsman's on the way up, but the Ridge was in the fog. On top we were battered by 60mph winds, wicked temperatures, and no visibility. It was so much fun I might do the whole ridge trail in a few weeks! | |

| Went up the old bridal path with a well packed trail. Used crampons from the Greenleaf hut until the summit. Had around 40+ mph gusts above treeline and was getting cold with the wind. | |

| starship_jen | 4 Peak String Date Climbed: Oct 18, 2008 | |
| Left from the Lafayette Campground and hit Lafayette as the first peak then headed to Lincoln, Liberty, and Flume. Lovely trail and beautiful views from the top. Chilly and windy (as usual) but gorgeous! | |

| My first trip in the whites in NH, what an introduction. The trails were well kept and beautiful. The clouds rolled in and out making a dramatic scene. | |

| Climbed with Little Haystack and Lincoln via the Falling Waters Trail from Franconia Notch. My final 4000' in New Hampshire and also one of the best. Definately one of the best hikes in the Northeast. We had nearly perfect weather for our final climb with views in nearly every direction for most of the hike. Lots of people at the summit but it didn't seem to detract from the experience. A fantastic finish indeed! | |

| Grampahawk | Brilliant October foliage Date Climbed: Oct 6, 2005 | |
| Backpacked in and the weather had us completely engulfed in fog. Set up camp to see how the next day would turn out. It was still foggy, but not as thick so we started up. Just as we came over the treeline the fog started to burn off. We watched it just melt away and were left with breathtaking views of the colorful fall folliage down below. | |
