That being said - I am actively working on getting back to the high peaks to knock off a few more so I can be a 46er and get that much coveted patch. While looking for some hikes to do, I started wondering to myself - what is there after becoming a 46er? There surely has to be more clubs like it. I am a points/achievement whore. When I was flying all over the country for work, I was racking up frequent flyer miles. When I drive, I always use Waze because I am collecting points on there to unlock achievements. I am not a rich man by any means, so the only way to get status and respect is by points and badges to show off my awesomeness.
So that being said, I have created a list of places where one can earn some trail cred here in The Northeast:
- 6er - Which is done simply by climbing the 6 peaks listed previously.
- Ultra 6er - This status is attained by climbing all 6 in a 24 hour period. There are specific caveats to this, which you can read about on their site.
- Winter 6er - All 6 peaks in the winter. You can also do them in 24 hours and become an Ultra Winter 6er.
The Saranac 6er's club is a great starter, and includes a 46er peak, so you can kill 1.1 birds with one stone. Great confidence builder. My girlfriend and I will be attempting the Ultra 6er designation this summer some time.
Vermont Long Trail (End to End certification) - This achievement is a bit more difficult than becoming a Saranac 6er. This trail goes the entire length of Vermont. It is the oldest long distance hiking trail in the United States. You can do it in one trip, or many over a period of time. You record journal entries and send them into the Green Mountain Club where you get a rocker patch and a one year membership to the Green Mountain Club. Check out their page for more information.
Fire Tower Challenge - This challenge requires climbing 23 peaks that have fire towers on them. Some of the peaks are in the ADK's and there are a few in The Catskills.
I will update this list as I go. There are more peak lists over at peakbagger.com - some of the lists have patches, some do not. It's a great resource to look at, and it includes peaks across the world.
