A confluence of factors brought you here: a sustained passion for spending time in the mountains, a pure love of the greater Adirondack region, and an addiction to a fit, active lifestyle. This is the ultimate challenge for the Adirondacks, including all peaks in the 6.1 million acre Adirondack Park with officially maintained trails or unofficial paths to their summits (no bushwhacking). To qualify, peaks must have a min prominence of 200 ft. A true lifetime challenge that will give you a unique, well-traveled perspective on the grandness of Adirondack Park. Encompasses all qualifying peaks from the many Adirondack Peak Challenges on peakery plus many others. To complete this challenge is to say with confidence that you truly went "All-in".

Highlights
"Climb is pretty hard. Lots of rock slide parts so be very cautious in wet conditions. Lots of ice and snow still on the trail in April. If you do this hike before June be prepared with trekking poles and microspikes / cleats for your shoes. The trail between Giant and Rocky Peak is very primitive and difficult. Whole thing was icy and snowy in April. The giant side of this trail is very steep and challenging, but the Rocky Peak side is not nearly as bad. I can imagine this route is much easier in the summer months, especially when dry. It just has some pretty steep sections. The views off both mountains are very good and pretty unique compared to other high peaks due to their location. I could see Lake Champlain and the mountains of Vermont to the northeast, Dix Mt and Gothics to the south and Whiteface to the west." — ThermarestCompressiblePillow • Apr 16, 2024

"We made the summit of Marcy to see the total eclipse. About 50 of us there got to witness one of the most spectacular sights in nature. As the totality of the eclipse hit, the sky went dark and the white halo around the moon appeared. Stars were visible in the sky and colors like the sunset were visible in every direction you looked. A moment and a trip I will remember vividly for the rest of my life. " — j-mulligan • Apr 8, 2024
"Brother Dean joined me today for a last minute hike. Trail to the summit was part snow part wet bare ground. Bare booted it to the summit in 1 hour 7 mins. On this blue sky day the views from various look outs were great. Many other hikers were enjoying the same. 4.47 miles and 1505 e.g. in 2hours r/t. Great morning hike close to home!" — garyogden • Apr 7, 2024
"After hiking Stewart earlier, we arrived at the trailhead for Kipp. And like Stewart there was some snow left down low and then just a frozen and dry trail to the summit. A nice view of Loon Lake awaited us at the summit." — garyogden • Mar 22, 2024
