After a 30-year hiatus, Ryan is back in the Adirondacks to finish up his three remaining high peaks! He did the rest as youth at summer camp, but that passion for the peaks never faded. With our summits on Colvin and Blake today (so fun!), he’s only got one left: Allen, which is tomorrow’s objective. Wish us luck!

A person stands holding a hiking pole wearing a blue shirt and black pants in front of a rustic wooden gate framed by lush green trees in a forest setting. Mountains are illuminated by soft evening light in the background, framed by silhouetted tree branches, with a grassy field and a few scattered trees in the foreground. A wooden trail sign is attached to a tree, indicating distances to Mt Colvin 1.8 miles and Nippletop Mt 2.4 miles. It’s surrounded by a dense forest. The sign includes a red circle with “Foot Trail” written inside. A person with a backpack ascends a rocky, tree-lined hiking trail. Sunlight filters through green foliage, creating dappled shadows on the path. A person stands on a rocky ledge taking a selfie with a smartphone surrounded by evergreen trees under a partly cloudy blue sky. Two people outdoors in a forest. One person holds a whiteboard with text: BLAKE 3960 ft 45/46. They appear to be hiking and standing on a rock surrounded by trees. A hiker ascends a wooden ladder on a steep rocky mountain slope surrounded by dense green forest carrying a backpack and using trekking poles for support.
