I'm not sure why this has not been posted before, and I have been meaning to do this route for about a decade.  Two of the burliest continuous climbs in the ADK, which includes a 1700' mile, open ridge running, amazing views, and some fast forest road running for contrast.  To maximize the vertical, I started up the poor man's downhill, connected to the Wilmington trail to the summit, then down and back on the Whiteface landing trail.
