| Hiked from Elk lake over the Beckhorn. Rain most of the morning with few views. Bummer. | |

| Ajellodude | First 46er | |
| Climbed this baby eight years ago, when I was only 9. I credit this trip/peak for my present love of the outdoors and Adirondacks | |

| lalpinist | The Sun Was Trying Date Climbed: Sep 30, 2008 | |
| The sun was trying to peek through as we summited with moderate wind. This was the first trail marker we'd seen all day, having approached from the N. Fork of the Bouquet R. and climbing the other four Dixes first. | |

| Tahawus | Dix Mountain Date Climbed: Sep 10, 2005 | |
| Climbed via Dix Trail from the Elk Lake Lodge. It was a long hike but definately worth it. The final push to the Beckhorn was totally exposed providing sweeping views in nearly every direction. Attempted to hike over to Hough but decided to save it for another day as darkness was only a few hours away. | |

| Catamount | Second go 'round Date Climbed: Jun 7, 2008 | |
| First climbed this pup back on June 26, 1994 while pursuing the 46R peaks. Waited 14 years to do it again. Nice day. Hot and muggy down low; windy and cool up high. Gust of wind blew my damn map right out of my hands and off it went. Ended the day with a nice dip in Round Pond. | |

| Hiked with Paul on a 5 peak string. Did the entire Dix range in 22 hours. Summited Dix in the dark at 3:30am. No views because of the dark and blowing snow. Neat peak though. The Beckhorn was pretty cool. #32/46. : ) | |

| The Ogre | One of my faves Date Climbed: Aug 18, 2006 | |
| Also 9/29/07, and hopefully this winter 2008. I've done all five both times, and the southern end of the range (3 summits) in winter. | |

| KyleCozzens | Round Pond to Dix Mountain Date Climbed: Sep 23, 2007 | |
| Climbed this on a perfect day. 80 degrees and not a cloud in the sky. Took us just under 10 hours. We would have been out an hour earlier if we hadn't started climbing the slides, not realizing that the trail was just a little way up on the right. We saw a couple people coming down and a group of three at the summit that came up from Elk Lake. We were originally planning on bushwhacking in and hitting East Dix, South Dix, Macomb, and Hough, before hitting Dix and hiking out to Round Pond, but we only had one day. It was a tough hike, but it can be done in one day while still spending about an hour at the top. | |

| birdny | More rain Date Climbed: Jul 29, 1995 | |
| My second attempt at Dix. My first try I pulled a muscle and dragged myself out. This time no problems other than it was raining on top and no views, about half way down the skies cleared and was a beautiful day. | |

| mancopa | What a perfect name Date Climbed: Jan 3, 2003 | |
| Spent the night at Plattsburgh, and had a little bit too much fun. Woke up a bit late, and got a slow start. Ended up jogging ahead with one other partner and then hitting the straight up section. This mountain was tough. Climbed it back before I knew about crampons. So bear clawed it up the whole way. Super windy, and cold conditions on top. To this day, still was one of the hardest adk peaks i've done. But as always, still a fun time. | |

| Seth Maciejowski | Route Climbed: bushwhack from hough Date Climbed: October 2001 | |
| The ridge from hough really should just have an established and maintained trail. The multiple herd paths are really making more of an impact. We came up Macomb slide and climbed East and South Dix and then up Hough and over to Dix. A nice approach. | |
