| Moose023 | Avalanche Pass to Lake Arnold route...  Date Climbed: Sep 12, 2009 | |
| Hiked via Avalanche Pass, Colden summit, Lake Arnold to Marcy Dam loop. Great day even though the entire summit was boxed in with a heavy mist that prevented us from getting any real great views. A rainy day in the 'daks is better than a sunny day at work and I guess we'll just have to do it again in nicer weather... | |

| Narendra | Trap Dike | |
| I would recommend the Trap Dike Route. Totally doable for novice hikers. Just be careful where you exit the route. | |

| Climbed via the Avalanche Pass Trail from the Adirondack Loj. A Great hike that traversed some of the High Peak's most rugged and spectacular terrain. Was suprisingly windy at the summit. | |

| 4 feet of snow with the sun forming nice corn on top. Beautiful sunny day, not a cloud in the sky. Skied down and back out via Lake Colden and Avalanche Pass. | |

| tigerlilly | Gale Force Winds! Date Climbed: Feb 17, 2008 | |
| Holy Smokes! Didn't stay on the summit long! A fast moving storm greeted us at the summit. Crawled along on hands and knees. If not for a little spruce I hung onto during one gust, I might not be typing this right now!!! Made it down safely. WooHOOO. Good practice for Denali! I'm guessing 60+mph winds. | |

| MattGreene | Brutal Wind | |
| I climbed this mountain with my pal Tony's wife, Chris. The wind was brutal. The arctic conditions of the Adirondacks never cease to amaze me. | ||

| Spent the night before at Marcy Dam Leanto. A friend met us in the morning, and we hit the summit with cloudy, cold, windy conditions. The hike out through Avalanche Pass was unforgettable. | |

| What a beautiful winter day. Sky was void of clouds as we started hiking. Clouded up as we got to the summit. Made for som interesting orange and red hues on the coulds when looking east. Awesome views of Marcy and the McIntyre Range. Colden is one of my favorite hikes in the 'Daks. Also summited in the summer via the trap dike, as a sunset hike, and from Lake Colden. This is a mountain that is not to be missed. Gotta love the balanced rock. | |
