I've been through the list twice in two different season & have 40 done in three seasons. I have eight left with Carter Dome planned for this weekend so I'll just have seven left.

They are: Isolation, Owl's Head, Zealand, Cannon, Willey, Moosilauke & Cabot.

Which one should I leave for last & why?

I have three I'm thinking about but I'll wait a week or so before I share my thoughts.

The first two times I finished on Moriah (NE 65 under the old list which was valid at the time I guess I finished on Redington for the 67 in 2005 as I'm planning on doiing the 115) & Cannon for 48x2.

How can you argue with that?

Don't do Isolation, or Cabot. Those are far too common for an end point Moosilauke is up there too. I say Willey cause its got some nice views of the notch, plus... Who finished on Willey anyways?


Good luck with owl's head I would go mad if I had to do Owl's head alone (IE not bagging other peaks) "I just hiked all those miles for THIS?!?!"

Moosilauke. A fun peak, a great summit, and it fits the bill to have friends or family join you.

In the summer, though, I'd vote Zealand and do it as part of a traverse.

I'm thinking of Cannon, may not be this year although I only have seven left. Sherpa K. could ride the Tram up if necessary. It would be nice to be up high with a view with him again.
