  • Happy New Year everyone! This week I'm kicking off 2024 with a Summit Sessions in the Santanoni Range...kind of.

    My guest this week, ADK native Kyle Lang, joins me to discuss the world premeire of his new original play, "Times Square". This story takes place at the beloved trail junction in the Santanoni Range of the Adirondack High Peaks known as Times Square.

    The Times Square WORLD PREMIERE is January 26 & 27 at 7:00pm at the Ticonderoda High School auditorium in Ticonderoga, NY.


    Adirondack 46'ers get free admission! You won't want to miss this one!

    Synopsis:
    Tom guides his friend Jordan to Times Square; not the one in New York City, but a small clearing deep in the Santanoni Range of the Adirondacks. From this junction, Tom waits for Jordan to complete three grueling climbs and finish New York’s most epic hiking challenge: the 46 High Peaks. As he waits for Jordan’s return, Tom experiences countless colorful characters--teens from a summer camp, a pair of former lovers, two barefoot hikers, and a man looking for his dog, among others--and points them in the right direction as they try to navigate the area’s frustrating maze of unmaintained herd paths. But literal direction is not the only aid these eccentrics need, as they try to cope with their own misery and mishaps. Times Square is a story of hilarity and heartbreak, of unity, and divergence.

  • This year on this special Christmas edition of The 46 of 46 Podcast i'll be putting an Adirondack twist on the classic "How The Grinch Stole Christmas" with the new story of Crank the Adirondack Hermit.

    How Crank The Adirondack Hermit Stole Christmas

    In the frost-kissed realm of the Adirondack High Peaks, where snowflakes dance and the north wind speaks,
    Lived a hermit named Crank, with a heart so small,
    Scorning the winter hiking season, Christmas and all.

    Crank’s cave overlooked Marcy, with its cap of white,
    And the MacIntyre range under the moon's soft light.
    "Cursed be the hikers with their festive cheer,
    Invading my solitude, year after year."

    But this Christmas Eve, as the stars twinkled with glee,
    Crank hatched a plan, wicked as could be.
    "I'll steal their merry, their gear, and their feasts,
    We'll see how they like these unwelcome beasts."

    Down to Marcy Dam, he slithered with spite,
    Where campers slept soundly in the frosty night.
    One by one, he snatched sleeping bags, boots, and sacks,

    Leaving behind only footprints in the snow's soft tracks.

    But not content with just one mischievous spree,
    He thought, "There's more to be done, much more by me."

    To Lake Colden he went, under the moon's soft glow,
    Stealing boots and jackets from the slumbering folks below.
    By the light of his lantern, he worked through the night,
    Taking what he pleased, but keeping out of their sight.

    Next to the feldspar lean-to, where hikers dreamt of High Peaks,
    He stole their maps and compasses, leaving them for weeks.
    "Not a trail will they find, not a path will they know,
    In circles they'll wander, in the heavy high peak's snow."

    His heart chuckled as he imagined the morrow,
    Campers waking to Christmas with sorrow.
    But as he pilfered and plundered through the silent night,
    A strange feeling arose, a flicker of light.

    Amidst his cold caper, he paused to behold,
    A family sharing a blanket, young and old.
    Laughing and singing, a carol so sweet,
    In the face of adversity, they wouldn't admit defeat.

    Crank's heart, though icy, began to melt,
    For a warmth like Christmas he'd never felt.
    "These people, they share joy in the face of the cold,
    Perhaps there's more to Hiking and Christmas than what I've been told."

    With a newfound resolve, he returned every little bit,
    Under the glow of the stars on a trail so brightly lit.
    And as the campers awoke to Christmas Day's light,
    They found their belongings, their faces bright.

    But Crank didn't stop with just righting his wrong,
    He joined the campers, Hiking along.
    Sharing hot cocoa and stories so grand,
    In the heart of the wilderness, hand in hand.

    On Marcy's high summit, Colden's trap dyke,
    In the MacIntyre range, he now found joy in the hike.
    No longer just a hermit, hidden from sight,
    But a friend of the mountains, sharing Christmas delight.

    He helped a lost hiker find her way to the peak,
    Shared his knowledge with campers, no longer so bleak.
    And with every kind deed, Crank's heart grew wide,
    In the love of the mountains, he now took pride.

    And so in the Adirondacks, where the wild rivers flow,
    Lives Crank, once a hermit, in the Christmas glow.
    Amongst hikers and campers, he shares his tales so grand,
    A part of the wilderness, forever hand in hand.

    So if you wander the High Peaks, and a friendly face you seek,
    Remember old Crank, once so sullen and bleak.
    In the heart of these mountains, where adventures never cease,
    Crank found his Christmas spirit, in the Adirondack's sweet peace.

  • This week I dive into the life lessons I have learned thanks to the greatest teacher I've ever had, the Adirondack Mountains.

    The mountains will teach you a lot about yourself and real life if you let them…

    1. No one can get you to the summit. It’s up to you to do the work.

    2. One foot in front of the other IS the formula. This will never change. Too tired to get back down? Too bad. You still have to walk back whether you want to or not.

    3. The mountains don’t care about you. If you disrespect them you will be put in your place.

    4. Your bank account, status in life, skin color, age, sex, etc are all irrelevant. The mountains don’t care. You will either get to the summit or you won’t exactly the same as everyone else.

    5. Climbing a mountain is hard. But so rewarding when you finally make it to the top. But if you quit easily you’ll never experience the top.

    6. If you turn around because it’s “too hard” the mountain doesn’t care. It will remain unchanged. The only one who loses is you.

    7. Every mountain has its place in the story

  • This week I had the pleasure of having a fellow northeast outdoors podcaster on my show, Martin Armitage of the Papa Bear Hiked Podcast. Martin had a big Adirondack outing planned for the year but sometimes the weather does not care about our plans and we have to make changes to our itinerary. Hear about Martin's ADK trip now!

  • The Northeast 115 list is a list of the 115 mountains over 4,000' elevation. The mountains are in New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. Imagine thru-hiking this entire list in one effort? That's exactly what Will Robison did. An unbelievable feat made up of mountains, trails, and roads as he went from the Catskill Mountains, to the Adirondack Mountains, to the Green Mountains, White Mountains, and the High Peaks of Maine.

    What an adventure! Hear the whole story now!

    Part one will take us through what led to this journey and the adventure story starting with the Catskills and completing the Adirondack 46. In part two we will leave the Blue Line of the ADK and get the rest of the story as Will walked to Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine.

    One of the most amazing feats I've ever heard. You will not want to miss this special 2-part Summit Session!

  • Throughout the 1930s a fierce competition among several ‘mountain marathoners’ was unfolding here in the Adirondack Mountains. In 1932, Bob Marshall set the bar high with the now infamous ‘Bob Marshall Traverse’ covering 13 high peaks & Mt Jo. Not to be outdone, on July 29, 1936 Herbert L. Malcolm made the final known contribution to this friendly competition - climbing 12 high peaks, 5 low peaks and ascending 25,552 vertical feet in 24 hours.

    On August 5, 2023 Katie Rhodes set out to follow in Malcolm's footsteps tackling the Malcolm Traverse and she's going to take us through the feat mountain by mountain.
