Allen Mountain, Tahawus NY
9/5/08
I finished what I started back in August. The trail was kind of what I expected, long and made up of primarily decades of lumber roads that are mainly used by hunting clubs these days. It didn't rain up there ONCE since my failed attempt in August, so the trails were dry, the mud was mostly hardened, and fording the Opalescent River was quite easy. While I doubt I would do it again just for fun, if someone requested my presence to climb it themselves, I don't think I would object.
