In this special solo-episode I unload all of my thoughts regarding the hiking challenges that make up the Adirondack hiking and outdoors culture. Are they a good thing? Are they a bad thing? As someone who runs one of these challenges I see a lot of the behind-the-scenes so in light of the potential changes regarding the Saranac Lake 6'er I felt it was a good time to share some insight.
