"Set out today to do the Fulton Chain Trifecta for a Winter Rocker! Not much of a Winter, not much snow on the trails and what was there was packed down, just needed Micro-Spikes for all three mountains. Started with Bald, little icy in spots but a lot of exposed rock, little snow. Went on to Rocky Mountain, very wet conditions as well as icy. Black Bear was a bear! Like a swamp until we started the climb, then very icy. All in all a lot of fun and even though there was overcast views were great below. Just wished for more snow, we had the cold but the day before was warm and rain that seemed to dampen things!" — hbotc • Dec 29, 2018

"Had a great time hiking and completing the Winter Trifecta with several good friends from the Brockville Hiking Club :-)
ALMOST came home without my poles after leaving them on Rocky - If it hadn't been for a couple of very helpful hikers on their way up who knew we were going to Bald, and returned them to our car!" — RangersApprentice • Dec 27, 2018
"A quick hike up for a second summit of this peak. This completed our Fulton Chain Trifecta challenge. We saw the sun set from the top, a perfect way to complete the challenge." — UK-Ranger • Apr 14, 2017
"Peak #4 of Today (The others being Wakely, Bald, Black Bear) a great short (steepish) hike, which I guess would've been a lot easier had my legs not been feeling the burn already. Still, up to the summit in less than 1/2hr for some great views of the lakes and surrounding mountains. Anyone bagging Bald as part of the Fire Tower challenge, should definitely give this 1 a shot whilst in the area. " — UK-Ranger • Jul 30, 2016
"Headed out to Old Forge, these 3 hike, Black Bear, Rocky and Cork were part of an old ADK day hike book I had. This book is what got me nack into hiking. My goal was to do every one in the book. Almost done!
Weather was cool, traces of snow and ice still on the trails but views of the lakes and surrounding area were awesome." — hbotc • Apr 10, 2016
"Frank and I enjoyed a beautiful fall foliage drive which provided the excuse for making the long trip to finally climb this little mountain on my Adirondacks bucket list. The most vivid colorful views of all were from the summit. We enjoyed visiting with the numerous other climbers sharing the top with us." — barbaratraver • Sep 30, 2013
