| ScAtTeRbOnE | Hot Day in CT/MA/NY  Date Climbed: Jul 9, 2007 | |
| Hiked over Round Mtn, Frissell and then to the TriState marker and over to Bear Mtn in CT. Humid and hazy, but nice views from Round and Bear. | |

| Zandt | Number 12! Date Climbed: Oct 5, 2009 | |
| Ascended with my husband, who carried our adorable, ancient dog on his front. It was a beautiful day and a lovely, if quick, hike. Based on the steepness of a couple sections of the trail, I don't recommend it in wet weather. It was harder on my non-hiker husband than he expected. It was my 12th highpoint, his 6th, and our pup's 3rd. | |

| AliMc929 | First Highpoint! Date Climbed: Aug 15, 2009 | |
| This was my brother's and my first high point. We regretted that we didn't bring bug spray along with us, but it was a pretty easy hike and we had some really great views since it was such a beautiful day. | |

| The one that started it all. Hiked up in beautiful, loved the scrambling, hiked out to the tri-state marker. I'm planning to take my Dad there later this month-I want to get him into highpointing, too, and this is a great start! | |

| Vanessa and I, toward the end of the second year of our highpoint quest, hiked to the highpoint from the Connecticut side, and did not actually go to the Massachusetts summit of Frissell, only to the marker at the state line. | |

| skinnywhitecomic | HP #10 Date Climbed: Nov 29, 2008 | |
| This was my 10th highpoint and my dad's 3rd. We kept second guessing ourselves, but by keeping on the red trail we found it! A good hike all around! | |

| 2skinners | HP #19 Date Climbed: Nov 8, 2008 | |
| My wife and I did this highpoint after doing Rhode Island's highpoint. This was definately the more exciting of the two. Unfortunately, there was so much fog that there were no views and it decided to rain a bit. It was some great scrambling however. Made it down just before dark. | |

| Flanders | What Jenkins said Date Climbed: Sep 26, 2008 | |
| Great hike for kids - just enough to make it challenging for 10 and under. Hike was less than 45 minutes though so make sure you ahve other things to do if you head out there. | |

| Brian Jenkins | Don't dis the Fris Date Climbed: Sep 26, 2008 | |
| Took us longer to find the right trailhead than to hike this. We missed the large state line marker as we were looking for a sign on the other side of the road, not a large concrete post on the left side of the road (if you are driving in). Still, an enjoyable hike up the rocks in the rain and wind. Now views though. Tagged both the state highpoint and the summit. | |

| maddie77777 | Great views! Date Climbed: Sep 17, 2008 | |
| Great views from up there. Wife and I were a little freaked out driving on that gravel road for like 12 total miles or so seeing all those no trespassing signs. Still, I won't forget the view up there on a crisp September afternoon. | |

| Chinigo | HP #13 - plus summit and CT-MA-NY tripoint Date Climbed: Sep 6, 2003 | |
| Approximate date - I took the Frissell trail west along the CT-MA border to the summit, then DOWN to the highpoint (that sounds so strange). Then I went to the tri-state point before heading back. | |

| Tahawus | Mount Frissell (Southwest Shoulder) Date Climbed: Jul 21, 2007 | |
| Climbed via the South Taconic Trail from the Mount Washington Road. A fun, easy and short dayhike. Signed in at the summit register before heading over to the highpoint. Nice views of the Litchfield Hills and of Riga Lake and the South Resevoir. My fifth state highpoint! | |

| injektilo | Nice hike Date Climbed: Nov 11, 2006 | |
| This was a pleasant hike made better by the season's first snow flurries. A really nice area. | |

| Redwic | Two Steep Routes Taken... Date Climbed: Aug 3, 2008 | |
| In the early morning, I took both the South Taconic Trail and the Standard Route. I wanted to see the views of Round Mountain and Bear Mountain. These trails are much steeper than even I expected, but the scenery and viewpoints make it worth the trip. This was the fourth of seven HPs (plus Washington, D.C.) I would reach in two days' time. HP #28 for me. | |

| TiogaBradford | Surprising! Date Climbed: Jul 6, 2008 | |
| For Connecticut, this is quite surprising indeed! I didn't expect this at all. In fact, I figured the climb up this hill would be more similar to that of Rhode Island's daunting high point. I found that my expectations were faulty, however. | |
