| Catamount | Love the mountain ...  Date Climbed: Jun 29, 1995 | |
| ... but hate the buildings. Been atop New Hampshire twice. My third state highpoint and one of my earlier Presidential peaks. Also hit the summit during a one-day Presi traverse in 2005. | |

| highlandvillager | Cool waterfall Date Climbed: Sep 17, 2012 | |
| After watching the old steam engine start its run up the mountain, we took the Ammonoosuc Ravine Trail from the cog parking lot. Much of the trail follows a waterfall with multiple drops, so there is awesome scenery most of the way. Beyond Lake of the Clouds, we hiked the Crawford Path to the summit. Views were limited because clouds had enveloped the summit just before we arrived. Due to time constraints and weather, we wussed out and rode down the toll road with my wife, who had driven to the summit. HP42 | |

| Redwic | Caught In A "Hurricane" Date Climbed: Sep 10, 2012 | |
| With very poor weather looming over the mountain, I chose to drive up the Auto Toll Road to the summit parking lot. What I did not expect, however, was the drastically different conditions at the top. There was thick fog and the air temperature had lowered six degrees (from 39 to 33) in only 15 minutes. Most of all, the wind was increasing, reaching near-hurricane force when I ventured solo to the summit. Everyone thought I was crazy, but I did not come all that way to stop at the summit gift shop and I did not want to wait there as the conditions continued to worsen. I found myself going between the Tip Top House entrance (for a tiny brief wind shelter) and the summit multiple times until I finally was able to get a usable summit photo. The wind was knocking me down, repeatedly, and my fingers were nearly freezing. This was my 46th State Highpoint. | |

| admiralcapn | Delayed Hike Date Climbed: Jun 13, 2012 | |
| Rain kept us off the mountain for most of the morning. We started up the Tuckerman Ravine Trail around 11, intending to meet friends at the top who were taking the Auto Road. Bad news - the rain closed the gravel portion of the Auto Road, so after attaining the summit we had to hike an additional four miles down the road in the waning afternoon to finally meet them (they never did make it to the summit). | |

| The ravines and the upper mountain are amazing. The summit was kind of deflating. At least they had hot dogs. | |

| JRaphaelson | Route Climbed: Huntington-Tuckerman Date Climbed: Jul 7, 2012 | |
| One of the most intense hikes I've done in my life. Huntington is by far the hardest trails I've ever done, as it is both physically grueling and mentally intimidating. There were many times when I didn't know if I would make it up certain climbs, especially since a lot of the ones I did were off to the side of the trail. But with sheer will and determination, I made it, and lived to tell the tale. Views were non-existent on the summit, but on the way down Tuckerman, we had a few good ones. Do not do Huntington unless you have had some experience climbing. | |

| Hagen | Unforgettable Date Climbed: Aug 25, 1992 | |
| This is the mountain that started my obsession. I took Tuckerman's up and Lion's Head down. We stayed overnight at Hermit Lake. Above the treeline in late August, there are lowbush blueberries all in the rocks and at the peak of ripeness. That gift from the mountain kept me going when I started getting tired. | |

| technicolorNH | A great time Date Climbed: Jun 7, 2012 | |
| Weather was better than average with bands of flurries and rain mixing with fog and bright sunshine. Visibility was excellent on occasion. Bill Welty was my companion on the way down. Two hours and twenty five minutes up from the Pinkham Notch visitor center to the summit via the Lions Head trail. Still plenty of snow in Tuckermans. | |

| This bit of fun planted a climbing seed where only backpacking had grown. It's more of a long hike though. | |

| StoneWall | Great Climb Date Climbed: Feb 5, 2012 | |
| We had a beautiful day on the mountain, started climbing at 7:30am and it was -3 at Pinkham Notch. When we got to the summit the wind was blowing 40-50mph with a wind chill around -30 bellow. But we had crystal clear skies and great views. | |
