Since taking his first step onto Mount Watatic at the age of fifty-five, author Mike Quigley has climbed over 150 mountains. Seeking out tests of endurance and ambition, Mike has climbed the highest peaks in five nearby states, completed a thirty mile, thirteen-hour day challenge hike along the Taconic Crest Trail, and even ascended all forty-eight four thousand footers in New Hampshire in a single hiking season. He has climbed Mt. Washington five times and has completed a northern and southern traverse of the White Mountain Presidential’s. Eager to share his experience and hard-won mountain wisdom with novice and experienced climbers, Mike now leads hiking adventures all over the Northeast region ... when he’s not busy braving new challenges of his own.
