First hike in Adirondack. One way hike to the summit ~14kms round trip.

Started with a little bit of snow on the ground. More and more the higher up we got. Covered with snow at the summit. A lot of "climbing" and ice the last mile up. Did not eat a proper breakfast and got a cramp just below the top. Very nice hike and some nice views on the way. A lot of fog at the summit, so no view.

The hike was a bit rough, especially the last mile, but it was very nice and within my skill level.

Stayed the night at the Adirondack Loj at the loft. Very nice place and nice people staying there. Three course dinner at night.

Had severe pain in one leg on the Sunday and did not manage to do a morning hike. Possibly due to a twist of the leg when I got the cramp.
