Well, I must admit that 2007 was a year of shameless peakbagging for me! My tally includes 75 4ks, and 82 peaks if we throw in 3ks. Some 4ks were repeats. My favorite hikes in the NE include a Southern Presi Traverse with MichaelJ, an early April winter conditions hike of Madison and Adams with Mntn Drew (Rocks on Top) and Terra the traildog. My hardest hike of the season was "All Four Sewards in a Day", Seymour, Seward, Donaldson and Emmons -- 24 miles and 6k gain in 13 hours in the Daks (in the rain...ugggh!). Hands down my most enjoyable hike was the backpack of the Maroon Bells with MichaelJ.
All in all a good year.
I've just started downhill skiing so finding that winter hiking/skiing balance certainly will be a challenge!
Definately want to progress to longer rides on the bikes this summer. A weekend or two of hiking/paddling in the Daks would be very nice next summer. I'd also like to get Katadhin, a few Maine peaks, Haystack in the Daks and about ten more NH peaks to finish the NE115 by sometime next summer. Now that MichaelJ and I are geographically in the same place, I'd really like us to do some more backpacking.
I'd like to challenge myself with a Presi Traverse and a Great Range Traverse -- but we'll see, there's so much to do and so little time to do it, it seems!
