Cascade Mountain ( Winter 46er )
March 13th 2013
Attending this hike was Matt Daddio Jones and Myself
This was a nice short hike up mine and dads first Winter 46er official Mountains. Not to mention this was a Birthday hike for me so it was nice to get up and out to the mountains and be in the Adirondack air. We left Massena around 4am and made our way to the parking area by 6 - 6:30am, and we decided to wait for the sun to come up so we didn't have to use any lighting on this trip. So 7am rolled around and we signed in started our trek out on our 2 winter 46er peak day.
The climb was very gradual and the only difference from when we went in the summer to now was the amount of ice that and some snow that we had to be careful climbing. Not wearing a clock or carrying a cell phone we didn't have any sense of time, so we wernt really aware of how fast/slow we were traveling. Once we reached the tree line, we made our way to the summit very quickly and took some pics and officially bagged our first Winter 46er.
