A solo hiking adventure exploring Ragged Mountain and its satellites in the Boreas Ponds Tract, involving scrambling, bushwhacking, and route-finding among several unnamed peaks with views of high peaks like Gothics, Basin, and Haystack. The day featured good trail maintenance to the base cliffs, then off-trail exploration with steep terrain, exposed ledges, and beetle-infested conditions.

A day hike of Whiteface and Esther starting from the Atmospheric Science Research Centre parking in Wilmington. Zero visibility at Whiteface summit; the trail featured steep initial ascent, rock scrambles, open slabs, and loose rock on the descent. Esther's summit was fully treed with no views, and the connecting trail between peaks was muddy and took longer than expected.

A Labor Day weekend trip to Colvin and Blake peaks via the Gill Brook Trail and Lake Road. The hike featured moderate terrain with some rocky scrambles and ladders on both peaks, with good views from Colvin but a viewless summit on Blake. A second ascent of Colvin on the return proved physically demanding.
