On the way back, Steve and I (and James) decided to hike ahead at a faster pace so that we could bring the cars up from the parking lot to the Noonmark trailhead, thereby saving the others from several hundred extra metres of hiking.
We completed the hike in five fours and fifty minutes, including our 45-minute summit break. Pretty decent, I think. Everyone did very well, and it was great fun hiking with everyone. Hopefully this was a good, positive intro experience to the Adirondacks for everyone involved! I certainly enjoyed it!
For those interested in the techy and geeky side of things, check out the interactive trackmap below. It's a mashup of google maps, my GPS data, and the pictures. Exactly where all of the pictures were taking are plotted out on the map (including a topo map, which is good if you really want to zoom in). For some reason, my software doesn't correctly extract the timestamp out of Beili's camera's pictures, so those shots aren't correlated on the map.
