 Seven campers and two staff members reached the top of Mt. Marshall Friday afternoon as Pok-O-MacCready Camps completed the 46 Adirondack high peaks for the 10th time in the past 11 summers.
“We had a great group and a great time,” said trip leader Mike Taptick. “It rained a bit in the morning, but when we reached Marcy Dam, it stopped, and by the time we got to Avalanche Pass, it was beautiful.” It was the 75th wilderness trip sent out by camp this summer, of which 33 have been destined for the ADK 46ers.
Camp’s wilderness director Ken Ryba stated “We are proud to have finished the 46 as a camp, but we are extremely excited about finishing off some of our campers.” In fact, Two boys and two girls are in line to do just that during the final week of camp, as Liana Mistrial, Eleonor Roberts, Lucas Schaffer and Jack Kinney each have over 40 peaks.
Meantime, other campers have more long-term plans. “This was just my second mountain,” said Ali MacKay, a member of the Marshall party, “but I wanna be a forty-sixer someday!”
