How Many NH 4000 Footers Have You Bagged?

feldmrschl · Oct 14, 2003, 7:07 PM

This is my first post to this forum, so please bear with me.

I've been hiking since 1983, but not nearly as much as I used to. My hiking companions started out trying to bag the peaks, but, after my brother joined the USAF and my hiking friend starting doing other outdoor activities, like kayaking, I started hiking solo. After a while, I found that I kept returning to the same peaks to relive the good hikes and to bring newbies into the hobby.

Here's my list:
- Washington (7)
- Adams
- Moosilauke
- Cannon (2)
- Garfield
- Lafayette
- Lincoln
- Flume (2)
- Liberty (2)
- Whiteface (6)
- Tripyramid, North
- Tripyramid, Middle
- Tecumseh

Hmmm... only 13. I better get cracking.

Welcome aboard feldmrschl! Even with just 13 you've done Whiteface & Cannon more times than I have. Lots more pretty scenery to be seen!

Update: Sky, Ghostdog and I spent the last two days hiking in the Pemi Wilderness and climbed seven more 4kers. I have just two NH left. Hiked over 400 8-12 kers in the West.

That's a lot of hiking!

Yes a lot to too much hiking. Glad I did the toughest ones when I was young. I've a sore back, shoulders and knees -- yet planning on the 3 Moats or Isolation. Hope to finish the report on our Bond adventure soon!

It took several decades to complete 48 on a list. Hiked 100's of mountains in many states. Didn't have, or want a list when I started hiking so many years ago. Just wanted a fun day in the woods!

Now that I've completed all 48 of the NH highest and today received an AMC 4000 footer T-shirt from Steve at the Mountain Wanderer. May I re-cast my vote in the 48 section!

This is a fun thread to read now and again. I think I'm (happily) still at 17...

Heh-heh. I did NOT achieve my goal of 24 by 2004 - on January 1st I did #23. But as of now I'm at 41, and will finish on 9/25.

However, due to repeats I will end up having done 31 4K's in the 30 weeks of 2004.

I did finish last year and it was a great relief. I never did send in the form for the patch though. Granted I know I will eventually do them again but I'd rather not have the numbers game thrown into it. Redlining is far more interesting.
