Shout out to that AT thru-hiker who chatted with me. He was the second person to recognize me on trail from the videos!

Props for constantly going up and down the trail for the camera angles. That trail is tough

Wow. Great drone work. Really captures the area. I enjoy your coverage of the Whites. Keep it up!

Fantastic! New Hampshire looks like such an intriguing place to hike!

Hey bud. Glad to see your channel doing well. I just finished my NH48 on Carrigain in October. Keep it up!

youre right about the steepness not looking the same on camera. i watched your video of mt willey and the ladders on kedron flume trail. that looked relatively easy till i got to the actual ladders. holy crap.

Great to see you my friend! Lot of love and respect from a solo mountain hiker from the Lower Chitral District of Pakistan!

Man I miss the white mountains.

nice place, we love the nature so much! You've collected some beautiful impressions here 👍😊. we wish you a nice day! Best wishes Up'n'Down-Traveling

Great job with the angles, I got vertigo just watching!

I did the A and D summits at different times. I added A as part of the Carter loop. It's not too far from Carter Notch and although it is steep it's more of a stair climb than a scramble. I did Wildcat D on a day that I did another of the easier NH48 summits (in a different section of the Whites). For this I used a ski trail that is 2.5 miles each way and mostly follows the access road to the ski lift between D and E. It has about 2,000 feet of elevation gain but being on and off ski slopes has views all the way to the top. It's on All Trails as Wildcat Ski Slope to Wildcat Mountain. Thanks for doing this one so the rest of us don't have to.

Your entire channel is awesome! And props to you for going up and down for shots! Also, your cinematography is beautiful.

Great job filming this and congrats on the summits. I can't believe all the b-roll footage that you shot, which must have made this even more of a sufferfest. After watching this I am inspired to check out Glen Ellis Falls!

I used to literally live across the street from here on the West side of 16. You should stop in to LImmers and get fitted for a pair of customs. They have saved me from rolling ankles many times. Also, I recommend a pair of tall gaitors. Not only do they help keep out debris from getting down in your socks, but they can be pulled up when the temp drops to moderate your temp without having to swap into/out of long pants. Ragged has decent gators, but a pair of Outdoor Research lasted me over 30 years. Great vids - keep 'em up.

Hi Adam holy cow I cannot believe how steep that trail is those steps look terrifying. Your in great shape thanks for sharing

And thank you for giving me a bit of an advanced look at what I'll be facing.

Did this about 30 years ago - got injured about a quarter-mile from the ski lift area on the way to Carter Notch Hut. Had to abort the trip - they sent me(and my pack)down the mountain, no charge on the ski lift. A few years later I did the entire trail in reverse, coming up from Carter Notch. Great hiking.

Man. That scramble was impressive! I summited Wildcat...via ski lift! I climbed Washington the previous day, though.

The steepest trail I have hiked is on Doubletop Mountain. It climbs 900 feet in 1/3 mile.

Did this hike many years ago all the way to Carter Hut and swore I'd never do it again. Have stuck to my oath! BUT am glad I did it.

Well, Adam thanks for the reminder of my attempt of Wildcat in 2006. I jumped a few rocks on that creek and my two water bottles rocked out of my backpack . They landed in the water and went downstream. I got two soakers trying to retrieve them and that ended my hike. Haha

It's great to see you are being recognised out on the mountains. Was it the shorts he recognised first?😉 Another great video Adam. Thank you.

Wow, that was terrifying and you don’t even get credit for it. What beautiful nature shots and the views were breath taking. Now I know what the stream crossing looked like for when Dad tried to hike it.

I did this in the summer 1990 and then again in the summer1991 and continued into Carter Notch, and I will say the DOWNHILL from Summit A to the Carter Notch Hike is BRUTAL ... huge bolder, huge bolder, down down down ... you can definitely go out 19 Mile Brook or continue up into the Baldface Range (which is pretty awesome)

Hiked this, had no idea it was the steepest part. Very proud of myself now lol

I just watched this video for the 1st time (I like to watch hiking videos before I run to work). This was amazing. I don't know how you have the energy to set up the camera and retrace your steps. Amazing!

Made that climb at 76 and camped on Wildcat A just a few yards from where you ended. Great Video

Wow frightening, out of my comfort zone. No cables to hold on to???

awesome video adam! i avoided the ridge trail after hiking wildcat A from carter notch! also when you do some of the slide trails like tripyramids, you might not be abled to get the tripod up there, it’s very steep and some sections are ledgy!

Adam, that looked like some rough trail. I'm amazed by the way that you scrambled up those slopes while carrying a camera and tripod. I only use a GoPro and a lite weight tripod for my videos. Awesome video.

My guys capturing fauna like Fred Beckey over here.

That GOLLY of yours might earn you a trail name of Gomer Pile or GP…LOL!! Love your vlogs…will follow you if you decide to thru hike in 2022.

I did this on jan 9 2024 two feet of snow at 1 degree😂. I figured it was ok to do safely but as i ascended in snowshoes i noticed about 1/3 of a mile up the ascent all the footprints turned around🤣. So i broke trail all the way up. It was my second winter hike🤣

Hi Adam. First video I've watched of yours, very well photographed and produced. I am an AT section-hiker and have made it to Harper's Ferry, WV. Hoping to make it to this part one day. Look forward to watching others you've made. Thanks, and God Bless

Lucky for you, I climbed that in the pouring rain with a 35lb pack

On my '21 thru hike. 8 of us got to the top of Wildcat D and it turned to torrential rains and 30+ mph. We hiked to Zeta pass as a group just to stay safe. No views for us 😭

Great video, always like your use of zelda music!

AT 2019...SOBO..every hiker I met said going down Wildcat dangerous!... luckily a peakbagger led me diwn!

I was going to do this a few days ago but I decided to do Tuckerman Ravine on Mount Washington

I am always shocked to see the things I did in my teens.

The Zora's Domain music is a nice touch.

Is that music from the Ocarina of Time I hear when walking down to the stream? lol

Hopping to bag these next year along with Moriah. My hope to to get down to the bottom and stealth camp, then finish up near Goram following the AT. That way I get all 6 peaks, the T25 trail and a section of the AT!

Section hiking the AT and doing the whites this summer. Quick question, resupply options? We have a resupply in Hanover but need some advice on it once I enter the range. Thx

The trail never closes btw... only some of the luxuries of it does ;) You can hike the AT year round if you are daring.

When you attach what I'm guessing is a Go Pro to your hat, it makes it seem you are climbing a 90 degree sheer cliff. I guess the angle is distorted.

You should have taken the ski lift back down ( I would have ). I always find going down the toughest on my knees. I'm kind of a lazy, fair weather hiker.

i think coming back down woukd be very scary

Just for clarification, your alltrails map says 8.48 miles, thats just one way correct? so 16.96 mile round trip?

That's where Sasquatch lives.

Hi Adam. The actual summit for A is off to the side of the trail to the viewpoint and not the boggy intersection. As you go to the viewpoint keep looking to your right and you will see a path that climbs a few feet to a high point marked with a small cairn. It can be hard to see as it is located in some thicker trees. Maybe you know this, but I didn't see it in the video. Also, you can make a loop by going out via 19 Mile Brook Trail from the notch after you descend from A. This will leave you with a 3+ mile road walk back to the trailhead (uphill) unless you take a friend and spot a second car or stash a bike if you're solo. Even with the roadwalk it is better than doing the ridge twice and descending the steeps IMHO, not to mention having to climb back up A from the notch. I have 59 of the 100 highest completed and hope to at least finish the NH48 this summer and maybe the NE67, my nearly 70 year old knees willing. Your videos are helpful in my planning as they show the terrain versus the descriptions in trail guides and trip reports. Thanks.

How well blazed is the trail up there? It seems like it would be easy to get turned around.

What is going down this like? Much worse than going up I would presume

How far would it have been to finish the ridge to the next road crossing?

3:22 what song is that?

Adam change the horrible music or better yet shut it off
