| friday | Icy, but manageable  Date Climbed: Oct 17, 2009 | |
| As part of a return trip to Algonquin. The hike up to the turn off was a bit icy in some parts from the October snowfalls melting and refreezing overnight. After the turnoff to the summit of Wright, the trail was more icy, although hikers were still making it without any extra gear. I used crampons, and these worked the best for the conditions. Above the treeline, it was just bare rock most all the way to the summit. Great views of Algonquin. Never did find the b-47 crash, but didn't look hard for it either. | |

| A beautiful day below the tree line, but the wind was biting on the summit. The snow on the trail was packed down, so snowshoes were not necessary for most of it. | |

| Stayed one night at Loj, then snowshoed to both peaks. I used ice crawlers on hard-pack. We passed two guys with crampons and ice axes. | |

| Great hike following a snowstorm. Did it with microspikes and the summit was a little hairy. Wished I brought my crampons. Otherwise the spikes were ideal. | |

| irennie | Windy! Date Climbed: Oct 15, 2007 | |
| Pretty bad day weather-wise. Wind was incredible on the summit, enough to knock me down a few times. No sign of the B-52 as visability was an issue. | |

| Climbed with Algonquin and Iroquois via the McIntyre Range Trail from the Adirondack Loj. Amazing views of the Great Range and Algonquin. Wright's summit is perhaps one of the most beautiful of the 46. Checked out the plane crash site. Not a lot to see. The plane engine is still there though. | |

| tioga | Peaceful Date Climbed: Mar 12, 2007 | |
| Hiked it with my brother after doing Algonquin. It seemed much more peaceful on Wright than it did on Algonquin, with the wind and cold not as biting and not a single other person on the mountain. | |

| Only had time to climb Wright on this day. Not too difficult and a nice view. Algonquin is another matter. Nice waterfall along the way too. | |
