In the most epic rematch of the century, I will finally return to battle my arch nemesis, Cliff Mountain.The first time I climbed Cliff and Redfield I spontaneously added them to my day while standing atop of Mt Marcy and lets just say it made an already long day a really, really long day totaling 17 hours, roughly 8k' gain, and 26 miles. Due to that my feelings on the mud-pit known as Cliff Mountain that day, my opinion may be skewed so it was time to revisit Cliff (and Redfield) with fresh legs, fresh lungs, and a fresh mind. Cliff and Redfield, here we go!Looking to start hiking in the Adirondacks? New to hiking and the outdoors in general? Great! The Lake Placid 9'er is the perfect place to get you started!
