aims for 500th climb of Mount Katahdin

MILLINOCKET, Maine (AP) - Climbing Maine's mile-high Mount Katahdin once is something to become proud of. Nelson Daigle's done it 462 times, and also the wiry, gray-haired 73-year-old retired paper worker aims to make it a level 500.
"I thought I had a great deal (of climbs) after i had 50,[url=http://duveticaukoutlet.halod.com/][b]Duvetica Jackets UK Outlet Duvetica Down Jackets For Men Store[/b][/url]," Daigle said in the modest mobile home about 16 miles from Baxter State Park, the place to find Katahdin,[url=http://woolrichdeutschland.gengfl.com/][b]http://woolrichdeutschland.gengfl.com/[/b][/url], Maine's highest mountain.
"As I get older, the trails get longer and also the mountain gets higher. It takes me a bit more time," Daigle said.
It took him a day to recuperate from his last climb of the season,[url=http://parajumpersonline.webmium.com/][b]PJS Jackets Shop Sale[/b][/url], which he accomplished without stopping,[url=http://parajumpersonline.webmium.com/][b]Kodiak Jackets Online PARAJUMPERS[/b][/url], Daigle said. The trails to the summit and back are as long as 11 miles,[url=http://woolrichoutletitalia.albirank.net/][b]Woolrich Giacche Outlet online Italia Woolrich Piumini Vendita italy[/b][/url], but given the steep,[url=http://merrellfootwearsizechart.webmium.com/][b]http://merrellfootwearsizechart.webmium.com/[/b][/url], often dangerous terrain, it can seem considerably longer, especially to the unseasoned hiker.
Between 10,[url=http://billigamonclerjackasverige.albirank.net/][b]http://billigamonclerjackasverige.albirank.net/[/b][/url],000 and 20,000 climb the 5,267-foot mountain each year, said park director Jensen Bissell.
A Fort Kent native,[url=http://giuseppezanottioutlets.webmium.com/][b]2013 Giuseppe Zanotti shoes outlet sale Giuseppe Zanotti Sneakers[/b][/url], Daigle came to the Millinocket area in 1955 and first climbed Katahdin a couple of years later. He's long enjoyed other outdoor activities as well, including jogging,[url=http://duveticaukoutlet.halod.com/][b]http://duveticaukoutlet.halod.com/[/b][/url], skiing,[url=http://rogervivieroutlets.webmium.com/][b]roger vivier discount for Discount[/b][/url], snowshoeing and bicycling. His dependence on Katahdin climbs began 17 years back,[url=http://giuseppezanottioutlets.webmium.com/][b]http://giuseppezanottioutlets.webmium.com/[/b][/url], and he's carefully documented each one in notebooks. Mostly, he climbs between May and October.
Daigle said he's averaged 20 to 30 climbs a year, less when the weather's bad. His high was 45 climbs.
He's become familiar with virtually every foot of the trails. Daigle even cautions companions not to part of places where others have scattered ashes of deceased hikers,[url=http://billigamonclerjackasverige.albirank.net/][b]Billiga Moncler Jacka Dam Outlet Sverige Moncler Dunjacka online rea Du Njuter Imponerande Vinter[/b][/url], said seasonal park ranger Matt Martin, that has climbed segments with Daigle.
Daigle has been featured such publications as Backpacker magazine. He seemed to be honored with a dinner and plaque 4 years ago by Baxter State Park for his climbing feats, Bissell said.
Daigle's favorite trail is the 10.4-mile Hunt Trail in the park's Katahdin Stream Campground,[url=http://rogervivieroutlets.webmium.com/][b]Discount Roger Vivier Shoes[/b][/url], past the tree line and onto the Appalachian Trail towards the summit. He's also walked countless times over the famous Knife Edge, the 1.1-mile ridge of rock which includes precipitous drop-offs. Park officials warn climbers never to attempt it in bad weather.相关的主题文章:
