Starting at Johns Brook Lodge and ending at the Mount Jo trail head across from the high peaks information center at the Adirondack Loj, this is a big traverse in the Adirondacks summiting 14 high peaks, first completed by Robert Marshall in 1932.  Marshall beat the previous best of climbing 11 ADK high peaks in a day:  http://www.thedogteam.com/50KM50States-Web_Pages/50KM50States/50KM50States-index-frame.html

An ultra classic mini-alpine route only 45 minutes from calgary. This route is an awesome day out without to much commitment. It has real ice (WI3), snow, and rock climbing (YDS5.7), tags a summit (Loder Peak), is never to hard, the rock quality is generally good and the decent isn't to bad. However, depending on snow, the rock pitch can be easy or epic.

Episode 73: Ryan Atkins: Fast FKTs in New England (when he's not in Kauai or Manitoba)

Person-Person

A resident of Keene, NY, Ryan is one of the guys trading fast times on the Presi and Adirondack Traverses. They get after it, yet it's all one big friendly community.

"The previous record-holder came out and helped, making sure I knew the best ways to go."

His next project? 500 miles on fat bikes, unsupported, in winter, across Manitoba, on the "worlds longest winter road", the Wapusk Trail (Wapusk is Cree for "Polar Bear").  

"Our bikes with gear weigh 100 lbs. Last year we carried a shotgun."
