"Loop of Big Indian and Fir from Biscuit Brook TH. P-W trail all the way up then HP to can on Big Indian. Solid herd path between the peaks and back down to the P-W trail. After a quick lunch at the TH I headed over to Denning road to climb up Red Hill via the new trail. I needed the new trail for round 2 of the All Trails challenge and the climb completes the ‘22 DEC Fire tower challenge of 6 towers and round #8 of the Catskill Fire Towers(5). The new trail has a nice easy grade you barely know your climbing up. It weaves through some rock outcrops and appears to be the handiwork of Ed Walsh’s Tahawus trail building crew." — Nimblefoot • May 23, 2022

"We decided with Oli to climb Costa Rica’s tallest peak Chirripó.
First day today we had a 9 mile climb with 6k ft of elevation gain to the so cAlled Crestones Basecamp. Everyone suggested to start early to avoid rain so at 4:30am we were on the way. But we arrived early so decided to add an extra loop to make the day more fun. We climbed another 2 12k peaks and still made it back to lunch at 1:30pm. Great day!" — nandorszotak • May 23, 2022
