Northville - Placid Trail Trip Report

“Nice trip report(s) and pics! I also looked at your Mt. Esther pics, you were there one week before me! The one thing they don't mention on that commemorative plaque that they mention in the book is the only reason Esther McComb climbed that peak was because she was LOST while trying to get to the top of Whiteface!”

“Capn Bobo,
What book?”

“The ADK High Peaks Region guidebook,
"Esther McComb, who in 1839 at the age of 15, while trying to climb Whiteface from the N. became lost and made the first ascent of this mountain instead."

1839!!!”

“this was a good read that I enjoyed going over on a long holiday weekend while I was stuck at work.”
