| Catamount | Last of 115  Date Climbed: Sep 14, 2000 | |
| Technically speaking, this was the last of the Northeast 115 for me. Although I qualified for the 111ers in 1997, a new survey bumped this mountain over the 4,000-foot mark and so I had to go back to tag it. Strangely, this one caused me a bunch of trouble. On my first try, I got T-stormed off the mountain. On my second try, I drove through the night to get to the trailhead in late November, 1999 only to blow the head gasket on my truck. Limped it to the trailhead, but a combination of apathy, exhaustion and snow turned me back. Finally summited on my third try via a bushwhack from South Crocker. | |

| woodstrider | Return to Redington Date Climbed: Jul 23, 2006 | |
| When I hiked through this area on the AT I did not take the side trip for Redington. So, after 8 years I'm back. Came down the old logging road and camped out. Nice hike- in the 10 or more miles round trip I saw no one else once I passed the AT crossing. Took spanking new foot path to the summit. | |

| eric-griz | Interesting Hike Date Climbed: Aug 22, 2001 | |
| An interesting hike through an area that had appearently been recently logged. There was a blown over tower of some sort on the top. Get good directions if you plan to hike up as the route is a bit confusing. | |

| Climbed with the Crockers via the Appalachian Trail from Caribou Valley Road. An easy bushwack from South Crocker marked with orange ribbons that wasn't difficult to follow. Decent views from the summit before heading back down the logging road. | |
