This is a copy of an essay submitted to the Green Mountain Club. It is one of the club’s requirements for anyone applying for an End-to-Enders certificate — an honor and acknowledgement for completing a thru-hike of Vermont’s Long Trail, whether it be done by sections or all-at-once the way we did. I undertook this hike, northbound, with my good friend, Bill Robichaud, from September 17 through October 6, 2015. This essay is meant to share just some of the highlights of our amazing journey. It was originally posted on my personal blog HERE.

Hiking Up Katahdin with Ryan Gibbs
Written for and featured on Icelantic Skis
Back in Ryan Gibbs, an east coast Icelantic Ambassador and crew took their annual trip up to Katahdin and brought along a DSLR documenting their travels. Photographer Forrest Frizzell-Lenka Flaherty snapped the pics and the rest is history. Here’s how the trip unfolded…
Mountains in Motion
In 2014 I took a trip out west with the aim of climbing three significant mountains: Hood, Rainier, and Shuksan. The trip was a success and two of those peaks — Hood and Rainier — were climbed again less than a year later. We climbed in July last year, but in June this year. Changes were noted as a result of this and other factors. Some of the changes were significant. And that is the inspiration for this article.
We are proud to work with the Department of Agriculture, the White Mountain National Forest and the Androscoggin Ranger District where we are authorized outfitter guides.
