In spending over 100 hours with Zack and successfully ascending 11 Adirondack High Peaks in one of nature’s most magical and humbling spaces, I’ve come to realize that his skill and understanding of the backcountry, are unparalleled and are a significant part of my success in obtaining my current 42/46 Adirondack High Peaks. Zack is “my” guide and friend. You can’t do just one trip

At age 64, I am a new 46er, and I have hired Zack to guide me in at least a dozen Adirondack high-peak hikes over the last four years there is no doubt that I would not be a 46er if it were not for Zack. I have comfortably relied on his extensive experience and knowledge of these trails to determine the safest and most effective way to tackle a day hike or an overnighter. Zack regularly carries 10-20 pounds of additional food, water, and hiking gear to assure the safety of his clients; a testament to his hiking strength and commitment to safety. If you have any reservations about doing a hike in the Adirondacks, you need to talk to Zack!
