This hike was fantastic, one of the overall nicer day hikes I've been on in awhile. Even with the road walk and the hour of annoyance that was coming down Elk Pass. I think I agree with you, going up really steep sections is a lot easier (and more enjoyable) than coming down them. Glad to hear you will be back down in the area. We haven't done Colvin or Blake yet, and would love to bust them out, but unfortunately this week is a bad one for us. Combination of puppy and work obligations. We won't be able to get away for a hike, but we should have a night free to grab a beer. I'll send ya a text. CJ, it definitely was a great day!

I did it the other direction. I prefer the steep going up, rather than down (Nippletop via Elk Pass). The area after Bear Den Mtn is awesome though, isn't it?! I'm headed down to Keene Valley for 3 days starting on Tuesday. I'm doing Lower Wolf Jaw, then on Wed I'm rock climbing by Chapel Pond, and on Wednesday I'm doing Colvin and Blake. Have you two done C and B yet? Interested in a mid-week hike with company? This is CJ aka: Chris from the Ausable Inn a couple of weeks ago. Take care (but climb hard), CJ Hey Jess and Dave,
