In August, 2008 Lori Clark and a group of friends climbed Africa’s Kilimanjaro.  Now Lori has completed another goal.  Already, an “Adirondack 46er” she became a  “Winter 46er” when she reached the summit of Basin Mountain. She has climbed all the Adirondack High Peaks during the winter months.  While Lori says she thrilled to have completed her arduous treks, she’s disappointed that scheduling conflicts and seasonal type sicknesses prevented her regular climbing partners Joanne Kennedy, Jean Ryan and Colleen Kaulfuss from making the final climb with her.  Lori is looking forward to being at their sides when they complete their “Winter 46.”  Please watch the very beautiful photos in the slideshow format that Lori and her climbing partner Nancy took on their very beautiful Adirondack climb.
