| I traversed this peak in the 70s and 80s, when it was just a nice bump on the trail. But my dad used to tell stories of being lost on "the Black Brothers," of which Big Tom was one, in the 1930s. Back then this was about as wild and untracked a mountain you could find. | |

| I hiked to Big Tom after already visiting Mount Mitchell and Mount Craig. However, the thick fog and sideways-blowing rainstorm made portions of the route too questionable to safely continue... and nightfall was quickly approaching. This was my seventh peak summited that day. | |

| We enjoyed this one with several of its nieghbors. Since my husband's name is Tom, this mountain had special meaning for us. Beautiful outing, lovely day, fantastic weather. I love the Black Mountaion Crest. Partner: Husband. | |

| Hit the summit w/ my friend Bill. Fun little run from Mount Craig & Mount Mitchell. Big Tom was a bear hunter from what I discovered. | |

| The climb from Deep Gap back over Cattail Peak, Potato Hill, Balsam Cone, and then Big Tom is one of the toughest I've ever attempted. If you like a challenge, then this is the one for you. | |
