For the first time this summer, there has been a double 46er finish.
Senior campers Lucien and Liam completed their mountains Wednesday afternoon on Whiteface.
Along with their camp friends, the pair were joined by family members. “They were a little slow, but it was awesome to have them along.”
As for the best part of the day: “Running up the last 300 feet and getting to the summit. Really, the feeling was amazing,” said Liam, with Lucien adding that they summited with a twist: “We
went through the tunnel as a wheelbarrow, in a wheelbarrow formation with Liam holding my ankles. It was quite fun!” Check out the picture below:

The duo made a dedicated effort in 2016, going on countless day and overnight wilderness trips, but Liam mentioned that “I think I got a lot out of the summer too (besides hiking) because I got most of the hikes done in the four weeks, and was able to relax a bit more in the three weeks,” said Liam.
“This year has been defined by hiking for me,” concluded Lucien. “i’ve found a new love in life.”
Liam and Lucien become the final two campers to finish their 46 in 2016, and join a Pok-O-MacCready climbing club that now has 396 members.
