Algonquin Peak in the Adirondacks, NY.Fortuitously, while we were out on our OD run Sunday morning (10/7/07) during the Lake Placid camp, Haley Johnson (MWSC, biathlon) was on a scenic flight over the Adirondacks. After conferring we decided that there was a pretty good chance that the little people standing on the top of Algonquin Peak were the CXC/SVSEF/USST group that I was running with!
Wright Peak in the Adirondacks, I didn't make the climb to the top, but some of the boys did.

Quiz: How many peaks in the Adirondacks are 4000 feet or more in elevation?
Hint: It's the same number as there are 4000' peaks in the White Mountains in New Hampshire.
hmm, I think the number you're thinking off is 46. There's been some revisions though with 4 peaks removed from the Adirondack list and 2 added to the White Mountains list making the new answer:
42!
I like how original names are sometimes. Like number 13 "Nippletop." I wonder how long it took 'em to decide that one?
"Well shit, 'the tetons' is already taken, but damn don't it sure look like one?....."
4 taken from the Addi's, 2 added to the Whites?! Me bad, I didn't know that. Thanks. Better do my research ...
I checked the 46'er list on the web. You are right. Though they still have a 46'er club, 4 of the peaks are now resurveyed to be under 4000 feet. Maybe Upper NY state is sinking into Lake Champlain!? Thanks again - your web site made me learn sumthin' new!
the surveyors must have been from New Hampshire...
