THE BEST explanation of notches EVER.

Good job going through The Notch. I did it with full pack about 15 years ago along with climbing Old Speck. Just a short camping trip to the shelter, not the entire AT!

Bog mud in the butt crack!! Hope you’re not bruised! Wow still snow on the mountain! Mahoosuc Notch! You did it!! Yay ❤❤❤❤❤ awesomeness!!!

[@DandyLight]

Outstanding weather day for you! So glad you have the Mahoosuc section ‘behind’ you…and sorry to hear of your fall and the bog mud in your ‘behind’.

[@noniemcd]

As much as I have enjoyed your videos I know they will soon be over. I’m going to miss flipping in to see your daily explorations and lessons. Thanks

[@darrellmarcks6304]

South Bound season has begun. Say hello to all of the fresh looking hikers you encounter!

[@richardross7219]

I was very concerned about you going through the notch by yourself. Glad you made it though. I think that some of the blazes are still under snow. Happy Trails. Good Luck, Rick

[@5StackHikes]

Thanks Rick. I took it VERY slow.

[@OBloveslife]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and hike. The bog injuring your rib worried me about you handling your climbs and having to manage getting your pack through, but you seemed to manage it well thankfully.

[@suehancock5573]

Great job on Mahoosuc notch

[@dannythecamper4186]

Good video with lots of good beautiful views, with some snow, so let's keep on hiking 😊

[@yellowrosecottag]

I think that bird call is the white throated sparrow. It’s one of my favourite bird calls too!

[@theresagreeley9761]

👏👏👏⛰️⛰️⛰️ your doing awesome!! I love Old Speck in the Fall just beautiful!! Stay safe

[@greggorsag9787]

Loved your perspective on the Notch. The snow made it a bit tougher, looks like. Geological background, as always, was informative and interesting. Never made the connection between those huge jumbled boulders and the absence of continuous water to soften them. Kind of a time-stop thing, it seems. Your Euro soccer fan is a White-Throated Sparrow, btw.

[@fredrose7783]

With all that snow in the Notch it looks like most of the "Fun" stuff was covered over and planerized!

[@5StackHikes]

I did do some crawling.

[@KrizAkoni]

Really interesting with that much snow left over!

[@user-zn3bq9qj5b]

A solid mile of mixed climbing bouldering problems. . . with your pack. You are the Man! As a retired mountaineer I can tell you that that rotting snow is the most dangerous stuff on the mountain. How did you rate the climb? Hey, at 0:39 is one of those mountain top bogs where you may find those carnivorous plants. Good thing one didn't grab you when you fell in.

I thought there were a lot harder places on the trail than the Notch. Like the hike the day before the notch and the hike out of the notch up the Arm. And the hike down Madison. The climb out of Palmerton. I wasn’t a fan of the cliff climbing on the AT.

White Throated Sparrow

[@schmitzcj]

I often wonder if it's harder or easier with snow,..

[@5StackHikes]

Lots of snow would make ut easier.

[@Wolfmanhikes]

U doing great 5 stack. What are u eating mostly this far north? How are the bugs?
