A new 46er
Yesterday I hiked Dix from rte 73 with Ken and his friend Pete. This hike completed the 46 for Ken and it was great to be with him on this hike. We have hiked to 14 of the high peaks over the last few seasons.
Ken is a great hiking buddy:
- happy to slow down his pace to the slow poke in the group (me),
- pretends to be tired too when you need to stop for a break,
- full of insightful commentary on the surrounding peaks
- and generally quick to dig a cold beer out the back of his truck after a hike
We enjoyed a cool 46er ale on the summit to toast the occasion. Congrats Ken!

How many more for your 46er status?
I'm at 39 but have some tough ones remaining...Allen, Couch, Cliff, Redfield, Gray Skylight and East Dix.
Oh wow, yeah some of them are just hard to get at. I definitely recommend camping at Uphill Brook. You step out of your site/lean to right onto the trail to cliff and redfield. Very exciting to be that close.
