Loving Mother Nature
We at 46Climbs are proud to say that our participants have only treated mother nature with respect and awe in the past. As we all begin to prepare for our adventures and the start of the 46Climbs week this year, there are a few things we must keep in mind. Depending on where you are […]
Home Sweet Home
The Adirondack Mountains are a special place, with their welcoming pines, and root ridden trails; a true playground for an outdoor enthusiast. Their woods are alive with the constant buzzing of red squirrels, finches, and chipmunks. Trees reach out to hikers , tickling their arms and legs as they pass by. Mud kisses the boots […]

Avoiding Those Itchy Bug Bites
As we approach summer, we eagerly await the departure of the black, deer, and horse flies in the Adirondacks. For those of us whom have never experienced these infamous creatures, they’re a real marvelous annoyance. Though they’d never prevent a die hard hiker from chasing an adventure, they do make a hard case for staying […]
The Mountains Call Me by Name
There’s something about the pure enormous size of a mountain that is so mesmerizing. The steep slopes and dips of a ridge, the way the tree-covering softens the jagged lines of the mountain’s many faces, and the grandness in which the peak rises above the world; reaching for the sky. I can hear the summit’s […]

A Perfect Morning
The trees sway in the wind, as pine cones hit the ground with muffled thumps. Laying on my back staring at the top of my worn out tent, I breath deeply. Muscles sore and cramped from the previous day, I rise and unzip the tent as a red squirrel scurries by, pine cone in mouth. […]
Treating Cabin Fever
During the winter months an outdoors lover will most definitely become stir crazy. This cabin fever can only be cooled by a full dose of mud, campfires, and steep slippery climbs. Unfortunately the further winter progresses the more antsy we become. We find ourselves staring blankly out the window at work imagining the sloping peaks […]
Running Across the USA- Interview with Adam Kimble
For those of us who run, the activity is more than just a daily workout to burn calories or a chore, rather it becomes a lifestyle. We love and crave the feeling of pushing the hard ground away to propel ourselves forward as our muscles flex and burn. Running is all about proving how far […]
A Chilly Morning
Snowflakes sparkle and fall heavy, leaving little wet blotches on my sleeves. The familiar crunch of a fellow hiker’s foot steps pierces through the otherwise silent morning. My headlamp shines brightly, and the snow dances with the light, shimmering and beckoning us on. My breath freezes against my cheeks as we push forward and the […]
