| nartreb | sweet revenge, served cold  Date Climbed: Jan 14, 2007 | |
| Easier hike than I've come to expect from the 'Dacks. Mostly cloudy and windy, the way winter should be. Nice to stand on the summit after stopping short on my August Great Range traverse. | |

| yvon | Marcy from South Meadows rd. Date Climbed: Nov 25, 2006 | |
| We did Marcy on 11-25-2006 from South Meadows road. From Indian falls, it was an Icy path and cascade of ice for about 40% of the path to the top. We had a great time on that day. We will come back in winter.

| MoapaPk | years ago Date Climbed: Jul 14, 1970 | |
| Actually went up 10 times between 1970 and 1975. Backpacked over the top twice. There used to be lean-tos 0.7 and 1.2 miles from the top on the Van Hovenberg side, and there was a lean-to at Lake Tear. One of the most memorable times was in June 1971, when we went over the top, up Skylight (which I loved) and then out over Gray, and through hip-deep snow back to the Van Hovenberg trail. | |

| Jerry L | Really Long Hike Date Climbed: Oct 26, 2006 | |
| Hiked up in a snowstorm. It was quite an epic trying to find the peak without a map and limited views. | |

| Was going to go up from the Lake tear of the clouds side but there was about 40mph winds blowing with peircing rain. Ended up going down and around the other way, i forget the trail names..but oh boy what a awsome trip | |

| mattdalman | Van Hoevenberg Date Climbed: Oct 2, 2006 | |
| The summit was cold, windy, and clouded in so we didn't have any views and we didn't stay up there very long. Oh well, still a great mountain. | |

| starship_jen | Van Hoevenberg Date Climbed: Sep 23, 2006 | |
| It was raining but we went anyway! My friend and I hiked the Van Hoevenberg Trail to the top. We met a nice guy from Ottawa on the trail who hiked the rest of the way up with us. Cold, rainy, and extremely windy at the summit. Didn't stay at the top for long! Soggy, wet, and cold, but HP #21! | |

| danny-boy | Tough early winter hike from the Loj Date Climbed: Dec 3, 2005 | |
| Great hike but I felt brutal! I had harly slept for 9 months - new baby :) - and had the flu. I thought I was going to die. Still worth it though. To top it off the State Troopers pulled me over for speeding (5 over the limit) just as my legs finally rebelled and cramped to punish me for the day I'd given them. | |

| moneal | All the way from the Loj Date Climbed: Aug 7, 2006 | |
| Climbed from the Loj on a day hike. My compliments to the trail crews who obviously spent a lot of time working on the trail. Was stuck in the clouds on yet another summit. #23 on my state highpoint list | |

| Ilafan | Rain for 18 consecutive hours! Date Climbed: Jul 11, 2006 | |
| We went to Marcy blind...no campsite, no directions, no clue about New England mountains. A nice guy from Lake Placid directed us to a free campsite off of South Meadow Road. We started the hike early in the morning and reached the windy, foggy, awesome top about five hours later. Then the rain started. It rained for 18 straight hours, and the descent from the summit made for a slow, slippery experience. Exhausted but proud, we finished New York's highpoint 8.5 hours after starting. | |

| The Ogre | Marcy via Van Ho; John's Brook | |
| Actually, I've climbed Marcy thrice - once long ago as a Boy Scout, and soloed it twice so far in 2006 (Mid-March with Skylight/Gray from the Loj, and May as part of a Great Range traverse from the Garden). | |

| 8th of 8 highpoints in 48 hrs. and thats including delaware. fell into snow up to my waist in late may, so be prepared. and if you leave before its light, pay close attention to the signs. we took a wrong turn about 100 yds in and wandered around on cross-country ski trails for an hour. | |

| Koonsy | Route: Van Hoevenberg | |
| Cold, wet, and turned windy day and the trail had steady running water. As we became more exposed to the wind we played it safe and turned around. Still a pretty fun hike despite a missed summit. | |
