It was nine below zero as I drove through North Adams, Mass., four below when I parked my car at Greylock Glen, just west of Adams and met my new friends from Pittsfield, “Sweep” Voll and Steve McDermott. Perfect weather for climbing the highest mountain in Massachusetts, don’t you think?
Back in December, I wrote about my dream to stand atop the highest points in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, New York and Massachusetts in winter. Sweep, who describes herself as a “lover of all things outdoors” read that column, invited Steve and me to join her on her backyard mountain. The day we picked just happened to be the coldest in two years, but that suited me just fine.
