If you so feel the need to include your opinion that 46ers are peakbaggers, please label it as such. Some people would agree with you, however others would take offence. Please qualify this information. -- Jowe 00:19, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
Any organization that requires that you climb a set list of mountains to join is a peakbagging organization. It is not an opinion; it is a fact. No one I know takes offense to the term. Daniel Case 05:24, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
Oh, and a shout out to Daniel down there, I'll see you back on the forum. -Tuchov
In the third paragraph of Origins, I changed "up any of the peaks" to "up many of the peaks." When the Marshalls were climbing in the 1920s, there were trails up Dix, Marcy, Algonquin, Whiteface, Giant, Sawteeth, Colvin, and many other high peaks. There were roads up Whiteface and Giant. Verplanck Colvin cut a trail up Dix in 1871, but there was a trail there earlier, as well as trails up Hough and Marcy, that had been cut the owners of the Elk Lake Lodge. Where there weren't trails, there were often logging roads. The entire Boquet River Valley had been lumbered, for example, and many early hikers describe following sled trails up to the summits.
In "46ers Today," I deleted a reference to Adirondack Peeks as the club newsletter. It is the club magazine. The newsletter is a separate publication.--daniel eagan, 3/30/06
Has this club received any outside coverage that would make it notable? No claims are presented... — Scien tizzle 04:19, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
I am moving the following material to the talk page; if/when it actually transpires, it can be moved back to the article. I have pulled an inline ext link--

I note there is no mention of the various successful attempts to set a time record for climbing all 46. That struck me as odd. Blueboar ( talk) 17:56, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
Can someone who knows please clarify this portion of section "Origins"?
The distinction between "summits above 4,000 ft" and "4,000 ft mountains" makes no sense unless four of the peaks were at one time thought to be exactly 4,000 ft. Even if that guess is correct, there needs to be supporting language somewhere explaining it. The current high peaks list elevations don't explain the statement, and the later statement that "more recent surveys have shown that four of these peaks are actually lower than 4,000 feet" implies that all four were believed to be 4,000 ft or more at the time of listing, and thus the problem statement isn't about them.
I can't find any outside information guiding me to a correction. The history shows that the problem statement was entered 02:05, 31 March 2005 by an IP-only guest user, so just asking isn't going to work.
Does anyone know enough to go find the answer? Esobocinski ( talk) 06:02, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
