Dr. Carr spent a good chunk of the summer completing his final U.S. Highpoints, marking his official eligibility to membership of the U.S. Highpointers Club! The months of June and July saw many peaks including Oregon’s notorious Mt. Hood, high peaks in Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, and ending his conquest in Utah on King’s Peak.
U.S. Highpointers are an elite group of climbers that have all set foot on the 50 U.S. State high points. Each member shares the unique experience of exploring our great country from the tropical islands of Hawaii to frigid Alaska. Summit elevations range greatly, from a stroll up Britton Hill (345 ft.) in Florida to Alaska’s majestic Mt. McKinley (20,320 ft), which is a multi-day technical excursion reserved for advanced mountaineers.

This year’s challenge for the CNY-OSM annual retreat was Maine’s Mount Katahdin. The Climbing Team reached the summit of the highest peak in the state of Maine (5,268 ft.) despite the rough terrain and bad weather. Hikers completed a 9-mile loop, and gained 4,000 ft. of elevation. Other retreat activities included moose spotting, lobster feasting, and kicking back on the picturesque South Twin Lake!

Spring 2012
The Northeast “115” is a collection of mountain peaks, similar to the Adirondack 46 of Upstate NY. The 115 include all those with an elevation of 4,000 ft or higher scattered across the northeastern region of the U.S. (New York, New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine).
Dr. Carr and the Team conquered the Vermont peaks last month, and have plans to tackle the Maine peaks in August, which will be the location for this year’s annual retreat!
