"Came in through the Ausable Club for the loop. Went up Dial to Nippletop. Cold day, easier climb to both of these. More difficult climb down to trail for Colvin. Bushwhacked up to trail before Colvin then hit Blake and back out through Ausable Club. Long day, 12 hours and a very sore right ankle. 💁🏻♀️" — bbergman • Aug 30, 2020

"Hiked with Tom. The weather was good, not too cold or windy. We saw a lot of groups during the hike. Snowshoes all day except for the Lake Road. We brought the sleds and used them a ton on the way down from Nippletop. " — Kim-Stilson • Feb 22, 2020
"Started at the AMR with Kim around 7:30. Parking lot was already packed and there were very few spaces left. We decided to go up the Leach Trail thinking that most people would walk the road and head up from Elk Pass. We had a couple groups in front of us and one that we played leap frog with throughout the day. The weather was very good. We had to take some layers off and ended up in mid layers for the majority of the day. Snowshoes on everywhere except for the Lake Road. Decent views from Noonmark shoulder and Dial. Socked in on Nippletop. We used our sleds to make quick work of the descent. " — LGH-Tom • Feb 22, 2020
"Tom, Peter and I joined the Hudson Valley Hikers doing a loop of Dial, Nippletop, Colvin and Blake. Before we got to Bears Den Peter and I found the hiking pace too fast for some reason so we detached ourselves from the group. We continued at our own pace over the three peaks then out to Lake road without doing the o/b of Colvin and Blake. We got our best views from Nippletop while eating our lunch. Got a clear view of Colvin and Blake in the foreground and Skylight and Marcy further back. Marcy looked like it had some fresh snow on top since our visit three days ago. To our right the ridge of Sawteeth to Gothics and the Wolf Jaws were in the clouds. I forgot how steep the drop is from the junction below Nippletop to the junction with the trail out to Blake. From there on the trail got more mellow. The whole day the trails were way more drier than the trails out of Marcy Dam/Lake Colden area." — Nimblefoot • Oct 26, 2019

"Beautiful snowshoeing conditions. 3C on January 5th. Started early and only saw 5 people on the trail (3 Americans & 2 Canadians). Kind of regret not finding a path to Noonmark." — decentdiversions • Jan 5, 2019

"Dial was # 6 for us. It was a long hike, muddy, rain, foggy, with no views at the summit which was at 2:57 pm, but we still had an incredible day. I lost a set of hiking poles between Nippletop and Dial, I’m sure someone will find them. See post for Nippletop for more details about this hike. " — pacofive_o • Dec 7, 2018
"This was Sean's finish of his NE111 and Walter's finish of his 46r. Our group got together and headed up Bear Den Mtn first. Low cloud cover today. Could barley make out Dial. We then went on towards Dial. No views today. We then dealt with mud on the way to Nippletop for the finish. Plenty of treats and champaign. The longer we stayed, the more the cloud cover lifted. So we had better views by the time we left. We returned the same way we entered. I then drove home after this hike." — newenglandwarrior • Oct 13, 2018

"My very first High Peaks! Hiking to Dial, Nippletop Mountain And five other summits to make for an Epic day in the mountains with some great friends,, Very warm day @ 42degrees with the humidity factor and the black flies were biting,, great breeze on the summits, Beautiful day to be in the Adirondack Mountains" — ramjet1963 • Jun 30, 2018

"46er #15! Blazing hot day, long hike, exhausted. When we first arrived at the peak I thought that there were no views. But on climbing up the big rock.. there they were! Another rewarding spot." — RangersApprentice • Jun 30, 2018

"It was raining when we started, then when we got to the trail to Nippletop, it was snowing (wet snow). The sky cleared a little in time for the summit to have a view. We went back by Dial. Super long day." — hiking-Brigitte • Sep 30, 2017
