Winter 46er Information

Hikers who have climbed the 46 peaks in winter (December 21-March 21) and who have recorded their ascents with the Office of the Historian receive winter recognition and are entitled to wear the Winter 46-R rocker patch. Only those who are in excellent physical condition, properly equipped and skilled in winter techniques should attempt this, as winter climbing can be demanding and exhausting. Parents should be particularly careful in assessing the abilities of their children. It helps when winter hiking, to be familiar with the peaks, the weather, the hazards and to climb with a group of experienced winter hikers. A good place to start is by attending the ADK’s Winter Mountaineering School.
Due to the ever increasing popularity of year around climbing the Adirondack Mountains we have opted for a one and only Member Roster combining data previously found in both. Updating two lists became not only cumbersome but resulted in numerous errors.
Registered 46ers Finishing Their Winter Round:
If you are already a registered 46er and you complete your Winter 46, please register your web account first. If you don’t, you will be assigned a second 46er number since the system thinks you are a new climber. The 46ers do NOT assign a second number to winter finishers, rather a W is placed after your current climbing number.
