Wow. Great video. Seems to go on forever. I climbed it as the last of 4 of the upper range in one day with a group of older boys. (Gothics, Saddleback, Basin). Did not go to Marcy that day but climbed that 6 other times. I will always feel grateful I got to Haystack. Incredible views.

I need to be here. I think it has the most glorious summit wow!!
-
Beautiful video! Thank you for bringing me back. It’s been 20 years since and one I long to go back to hike
-
I climbed the High Peaks from '71 to 2004. This brings back great memories. Thank you. Great vid.
-
I did Haystack alongside Redfield(1st time) Gray Peak and Skylight during my 21 hour hike in the Adirondacks last Fall
-
Great video man, I haven't been on top since 1972 and this is as close to being there again as I'll ever get!

That short climb at 14:00 was the end for me. I spent perhaps 15 minutes trying to figure it out. First I tried that long crack in the center of the face (I blame the yellow blazes) then to the far left where you made it up in under 60 seconds. I had a moment of panic as I attempted to "traverse" the face at that spot which sent me back down. I could not overcome my fear. Kudos to you...and the millions of others who've summited Haystack.

Thanks for the step-by-step video. It's been nearly 30 years since my last (and only) ascent of Haystack. I'm a bit older now, but I want to do it again. This gives me an added incentive to get into tip-top shape.

WOW! That was outstanding!!!!
-
Absolutely breathtaking! Thank you for taking me along! I love the little trail marker stone piles! Anyone in particular that has made them, or is it something hikers have added to over the years? And wow! That view from the summit.......

Panther Gorge. NIce hike, man!

The Adirondacks are impressive.
-
I’m planning on doing Haystack at the end of the week. I’ll likely start at the Garden Parking area and go direct instead of over the loops. Is this the way that you took in?
-
That first part shows a false summit. Owls Head had lots of those…..when you could climb Owls Head.

excellent video -- I was hoping for something like this. I finally got a close-up look at Haystack while on Marcy the other day. Its surly reputation has me scared and this video did little to dispel it.
-
What trail were you on exactly for your summit of Haystack? Did you begin in Panther Gorge?
-
Are you wearing a go pro, very stable video
-
On more question: can someone clear this up for me? Is the rounded peak to the left of Marcy Skylight or Gray? I believe it's Skylight, but not sure...

I have a morbid fear of heights but supported my 14 year old nephew by climbing Marcy last year. (I stayed at the treeline while he finished the climb). This year we did Phelps, which I managed with some difficulty. I pooped out this week on the way up to Algonquin but a friend and my nephew made it. He's talking about trying Haystack next year and it's obviously beyond my abilities. Are there any especially dangerous spots, or can I trust him to climb with a friend of mine who's fairly experienced?

What kind of camera (go pro?) are you using?
