| Tahawus | Gray Peak Date Climbed: Oct 7, 2006 | |
| Climbed with Skylight via the Uphill Brook Trail from Tahawus. The path to the top was pretty easy going and the summit provided excellent views of Marcy, Skylight, Redfield and the other peaks in the surrounding area. Lake of the Clouds was a nice treat as well. | |

| Scrambled over from near treeline on Marcy above Lake Tear. I recall the spruce thicket being difficult but not impossible. | |

| The Ogre | Gray (between Marcy and Skylight) March 2006 | |
| Van Ho trail from the ADK Loj. Marcy, bushwhacked to Gray and down, back up to Four Corners and Skylight. Out via Lake Arnold. Solo. Bushwhack down Gray very hard; not on herd path. 7-8 feet (2 meters) snow on Gray that was melting in the midday sun. Horrible spruce traps; I needed 2 hours to go 1/2 mile downhill on Gray. (If you don't know what a "spruce trap" is, send a pm and I'll explain. I'm sure many of you do know, and many of you don't, or at least don't know the slang term "spruce trap.") | |

| chilkoot | Last but not least Date Climbed: Sep 26, 2004 | |
| Climbing up Gray Peak ended my quest to climb the ADK 46 and also the Northeastern 111's (115). Hiked with a great bunch of guys and had bad weather set in, preventing us from cracking open our bottle of champagne until we made a brief stop at Marcy Dam for just that purpose. | |

| pmlupi | Route Climbed: Bush whack from Tear Lake Date Climbed: October 13, 1996 | |
| Spent two cold days bagging the High Peaks. Hit Algonquain, Coldon and Gray, spent a brutally cold night in a lean-to then hit Skylight, Marcy and Phelps. We were past peak for the foliage thus making this a cold overcast and gloomy adventure. | |

| climber46 | Route Climbed: Herd path from Lake of the Clouds Date Climbed: Sept 10, 2000 | |
| This hike (7.5 miles, 3000 feet in under 4 hours) convinced me that I could climb all 46 Adirondack High Peaks. After reaching Marcy, I climbed nearby Skylight, and Gray. | |

| hillman | Route Climbed: from lake tear Date Climbed: 6-3-04 | |
| I also bushwacked the ridge over to marcy, it was kind of tight, and no place for a full pack. I lost my new eyeglasses when my pack ripped open somwhere up there. | |

| ADKhiker46 | Route Climbed: Bushwack down SE face of Marcy Date Climbed: 10-25-03 | |
| This peak is CLEARLY visible from Marcy; we went down marcy straight for it. Tight in places but all in all no problem. I would recommend this way as opposed to going down marcy to Lake tear and then up. That would be WAY harder and impractical. | |
