| Day started in the 80's, but by the time we summited the temps were dropping, winds in excess of 60mph and horizontal rain. | |

| A 15 mile round-tripper from Jefferson Notch. Didn't stay long but the views to the north and a vertical mile down were incredible! | |

| Tropical heat and humidity for most of the climb; wind, fog, rain, lightning, even a little hail above treeline. Tagged the summit and beat a hasty retreat. | |

| Boula | Route Climbed: Osgood Trail from Madison Hut Date Climbed: September 2003 | |
| Great hike, long day, but well worth it. Went in on the Great Gulf trail to Madison Gulf, up to Madison Hut, over to Adams on Airline, back down to Madison Hut, over the Osgood Trail to Madison, down Osgood to the Great Gulf trail and back out. | |

| abn373 | Route Climbed: Valley Way--Osgood trail Date Climbed: June 8, 2003 | |
| Got misdirected by a ranger and went 45 mins out of our way before consulting a topo and backtracking to the start of the Osgood trail (behind Madison Hut) the Osgood Junction is the LONG way around. Lesson learned: Don't take advice that you didn't ask for. This was part of a presidential traverse. | |

| Archangl | Route Climbed: Ascent Osgood, Descent Madison Gulf Date Climbed: July 13, 2002 | |
| This is one of the best climbs that my wife, Lorie, and I have done. While the ascent via the Osgood Trail is no cake walk, especially above tree line, the descent via Madison Gulf is truly a challenge. It is my understanding (after the fact) that Madison Gulf is not recommended for descent. I can certainly see why. | |

| GuitarWIzard | Route Climbed: Northern Presidential Traverse - Great Gulf/Osgood Date Climbed: 6/25/02 | |
| First summit in my Presidential Traverse attempt - summited in 3 1/2 hours. Weather was great...a little bit warm, as I was sweating to death, but no wind and great views. My first "northern" Presidential mountain....and a nice one at that. If you want to escape the crowds of Mt. Washington, this is a good place to start. Only saw one other hiker on the way to the summit... | |

| Josh | Route Climbed: Most of them. Date Climbed: Many times 1993-1998 | |
| All of my Eastern U.S. hiking and climbing is just a blur. I know I've been to the summit of Mount Madison about 6-8 times, but I can't remember the specifics of any of the trips! | |
