We still have yet to successfully do all of the 46 High Peaks during the winter gathering.

Is everyone still game to try again in 2012?

I'll have to check tonight but I think somewhere in the mid-high thirties. Pesky snow!

Not only that but I have the sign-in sheets and pushpins carefully stowed away.

Last winter was my first and I hope to participate again this winter... The weather will be cooperative sooner or later and we will summit all 46!!

Nevermind that. Is Jordan going to do semi naked pushups in front a fire for money again? :twisted:

I'm sure someone will think of a more creative way to raise money this year...

If I come I will..... on the condition that it will all be drunk.

But sheesh!!!! I don't know what I'm doing next weekend, and you expect me to know if I'm coming in 6 months?????

Is this a guess or suggestion?

I'm pretty sure that if you wore that new outfit, you'd never have to carry your own pack or water bottle on a hike ever again.... ;)

Rik, scared to think of it as a suggestion. You may follow it

Is this a guess or an offer?

An offer. Be prepared for many.

I won't get strung out by the way you look and I won't judge a book by its' cover...
But you're carrying your own damn eyeliner next time... ;)

You know, you're a changed man since you got back from Kentucky... What the hell happened in those caves????

How about, we get all 46 but allow for "getting them" on Friday or Saturday. The folks getting the more remote peaks could get them Friday and still make the party Saturday. Also, anyone who wanted to get multiple "interior" peaks (which may include camping) could have an extra day to work with. Just an idea.

I like this idea - I would like to do Marshall +, and would probably stay in Newcomb since I live west of Syracuse - If I could hike on Friday I could still make the gathering:) - - - and maybe pick up something else on Saturday :)-
Yea I know "but they were not all summited on the same day" :?:. . ..

So are we signing up for mountains yet? TMax and I did Allen a few years back, so how about something that gets us to dinner when there is some dinner left!

FYI, we do have bunks for that time at TMax-n-Topo's for that weekend, but a couple of scout groups have inquired recently, and they may all go quickly.
