Signups for this years event will be held on July 9th at 6:00 p.m. sharp. Peaks do go quickly and it is advised that you have a backup peak planned for when signing up. The three peaks of Cannon, Washington and Wildcat D do offer non-hiker access for those that wish to participate but cannot hike. Please send me a pm should anyone have any questions about the event. Thanks to all that participate.

A great event!

I was on top of little haystack last year and saw some flags flying. Could not get out early enough to join a trip. Probably the same kids event will prevent me this year also. Love to make one of these.

Great event. I flew a flag on the first and third anniversaries (Madison and South Twin respectively).

Just a reminder that Signups open this Monday July 9th at 6:00 pm.

We have had several inquries about the event itself so hopefully we'll get all the peaks cover again.

Thanks.

You can count us in, not sure what we'll do yet, but basically the same as we did last year. We hooked up with Pedxing last year.

We had a really outstanding opening with 30 peaks being claimed in the first hour. 38 are now accounted for. Hopefully by the end of the month we'll have full coverage.

Now we just hope for good weather like in Greg's pics.

Nice Work Cal! and team!

This simple, silent and non-partisan act of remembering and bearing witness is a fine thing. Last year when I was on Carrigain - we met a group of 9-11 widows who told us how much this event has meant to them. That brought some tears to my eyes. It's more than enough reason for me to feel privileged to be involved.

 

[LongStep]

I lived on Long Island during the 9-11 attacks this is definetly a nice event. Nice work.

Two peaks left.

Owl's Head and Wildcat D


For Wildcat D you can use the tram if you do not wish to hike. Get a group of guys and plan your winter skiing trips.

 

[SilentCal]

All 48 have coverage now. There is still room to sign up to be a helper on any peak. Thanks to all those that have signed up.

Now we need nice weather and a little breeze.

 

[Skier75]

Yep, all set to go! Can't wait, been looking forward to this since we signed up. We'll be at Cabot, myself, hubby, Pedxing, and any other stragglers....

 

[SilentCal]

We still need some help. We've had two cancellations. North Twin and Field are now open.
