The Quest

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring, 
Renewed shall be blade that was broken, 
The crownless again shall be king.







48 mountains in New Hampshire are higher then 4,000 feet. I'm going to hike them all before my 30th birthday. I'm not going to try and hike them all, I'm going to slap every summit like it owes me money and hit a few that aren't on the list.

I've got 4 notches on the belt as of this writing and I plan on ending the summer strong. 10 peaks in 4 weeks, with a Saco trip to celebrate on labor day weekend if all goes as planned. Taking the wife to Carter Notch this weekend,  hiking Mt Eisenhower via the Edmands Path, traverse a portion of the AT to Mt Pierce then back to the car the way we came. Weather permitting, I'll hit Mt Hancock & South Hancock 8/14, North Kinsman & Cannon Mtn 8/21, then a 4 peak overnight in the Sandwich range 8/28 & 29: North & Middle Tripyramid, camp on the Kate Sleeper trail, then Whiteface & Passaconaway the next morning.

If all goes well I can relax on the river for labor day knowing I've put 14 in their place and well on my way to all 48 by 2012. Epic.
