"We joined Erik B's team for Cliff and Redfield. The group included Molly and I, Lynn K, Nora, and another lady. We left the ADK Loj shortly after 6:30am. We headed to Marcy Dam, then Avalanche Pass. The pass and lake were beautiful with all of the ice. We crossed the center of the lake, then headed out of the pass. We skirted along the edge of Colden Lake, then made our way to the lean to to start the herd paths. We went up Cliff first while we were still fresh. Tough hike. Crampons were used and it took us awhile to get up the icy ledges. We reached Cliff in the clouds. Surprisingly, coming down was a lot easier. We then headed up Redfield and it was a long slog. Easy going, but a lot of up. We had some undercast while we were up there. We came back down and took the same route out. We crossed Colden Lake in the dark and Avalanche Pass in the dark. We got back to the Loj just shy of 8pm. Long day for a 21 mile hike. I gained +2 on my 46r winter. I also set a new personal record of 121 4000 footers in a single year. Molly and I headed home the next day." — newenglandwarrior • Dec 29, 2021

"Came in through Upper works night before. Set out in morning with on and off mist throughout the day. Climbed Redfield first which wasn’t too bad. Then hit Cliff, lots of mud to begin with and some fun scrambles. Stomach not feeling good made a long hike out after packing up. 39 and 40" — bbergman • Sep 3, 2021

"We hiked in the day before from Upper Works and our goal was to reach Uphill brook. About 20 minutes into the hike, it began to pour. We hiked the 8 miles to Uphill brook in pouring rain. When we arrived at the campsite, there were a few groups there and it was misty and cold. We were frozen to the bone. We camped that night in our hammocks and then did Cliff and Redfield the next day. Cliff's herd path was another truly terrible one. Mud, roots, water the whole way up. Redfield only slightly better." — hanawalton • Jul 28, 2021
"Tom and I did the trio of Cliff, Redfield and Gray on a cloudy drizzly day with wind on the summits. No views and plenty of water and mud on the trails/herd paths to soil ourselves quite well. Puts Tom at 39 peaks towards his 46r quest." — Nimblefoot • Sep 1, 2020

"Peaks #4 and 5 of 46 done with Jeff, Meenu, Ben, Dennis, and John. It was quite an adventure, leaving 2 am, hiking 15 hours and getting back home 2 am the next day. The long hike out to the junction (first 4 miles in another recording, accidentally stopped watch) started easy. The floating logs were a challenge and we almost lost a phone there. Went up Cliff first and this was a tough but fun climb. I loved the rock climbing part of it! Finally made it to the summit, tired and hungry and soaked with sweat. Three of us got there first and didn’t realize that in the group a few minutes behind, Dennis had just passed out. He was okay but we got some food into him, water, and Gatorade. It was a warm day and he had a big pack, not enough fuel or water. We rested a bit – but were behind on time so needed to get moving. Back down Cliff to the junction. We decided Dennis would wait for us at the Y and we would do Redfield “quickly”. Tensions were a bit high with this as we were tired and needed to hustle. It took another 2.5 hours to go up and down. Views were amazing up and down each of these peaks. We all were running out of water but fortunately had some filters to be able to get some i..." — kvander • Jul 3, 2020

"Went from Upper Works and through the Flowed Lands for the first time. Absolutely loved the trail leading into the Flowed Lands. Trail up Redfield was extremely rough and rocky. Mud at the beginning of the herd path to Cliff was massive in area and difficult to navigate." — JMindlin12463 • Jul 2, 2020

"Big loop hike to some of the quieter 46er peaks. Had most of the day to myself on this busy holiday weekend! It helps to start well before sunrise and spend all day deep in the woods. ;) " — wacbravo • Oct 12, 2019

"Tom, Black and I left the Upper Works lot at 5:55 am with cloudy skies and temps in the 40s. Light rain for an hour shortly after starting out. Planned on doing Cliff 1st then Redfield. Cliff was a very muddy and technical climb to the summit. Summited Cliff at 12:30. No view except for over your shoulder on the way up. On to Redfield. " — garyogden • Sep 8, 2019

"Perfect 6:45am via Upper Works Trailhead in Newcomb N.Y. With amazing friend Laurie Sargent, Banging out #44 & #45 of the ADK 46ers. Cool Morning made for a great day to be in the mountains with almost no bugs, Trails where dry, rocky and muddy in areas but we pushed on through to make another long but epic day,, Mount Marshall, We are coming for you! Enjoy" — ramjet1963 • Aug 24, 2019

"We took advantage again of a 3 day weekend to do Gray, Skylight, Cliff & Redfield.We arrived on Friday at the Upper works trail-head and started around 1h00pm. We set out to camp at the Up Hill Lean to. It took us about 5 and a half to get there. The weather was hot and it slowed us down during mid point. Still we felt good about the hike. We intend as always to camp in our tent. luckily, there were not many people (benefits of arriving on a Friday afternoon).We were glad that the camp site was next to the uphill brook. We had fresh water to filter.We started our hike on Saturday morning around 8h00am. First we headed for Gray mountain. Our pace was good. There were some good climbing near the summit. The last main one appear quite difficult and a little bit dangerous. Fortunately, someone that was already at the top of the section, told us of a passage on the right.So at 10h30 we were at the top of Gray. We took a 30 minutes break to take some pictures and snack. Next stop: Skylight. The hike getting there was absolutely amazing. We kept stopping to gaze at the view and taking pictures. It took us 2 hours to get at the top of Skylight.After staying a little. We started to descend..." — CPaquin • Aug 2, 2019
