Speaker 1 (00:00):
June tenth, nineteen twenty five. The air was still up
on moul Emmons. A warm breeze passed through the spruce trees.
The sun broke through a layer of clouds, casting light
all over the forest. Three men stood silently on the
summit there, breathing heavy, their shirts damp with sweat, and
(00:20):
there was no summit marker marking the top, no cheering crowd,
no fanfare, just the quiet buzz of the insects, the
whisper of the whipping wind, and the profound silence of
a wild place that few had ever reached. But in
that moment, Bob and George Marshall, along with their guide
(00:41):
Herb Clark, had just become the first people to stand
atop all forty six Adirondack high peaks. And they didn't
know it yet, but they had just made history, and
their accomplishment was about to change the Adirondack landscape forever.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
The skylight, gray Cliff and Redfield done. Now the long
walk back to the lodge.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Three fifty five am just signed in Sanoney Range.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Let's go.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
The wind is whipping here in the seward range to
just finish the Macomb slide, and my legs are on fire. Well,
I fell victim to the floating logs again, made it
to the top of East Dix Peak number three of
five for today here in the Dick and Range Avalanche
Pass on top of Rocky Peak Bridge. It's like a
hurricane up here, Rain and wind here on tabletop, Whiteface
(01:31):
number six, Muddy day here on street and I for
number seven and eight. Sonny in blue on Haystack, al
Gong went up in the clouds number eighteen, Gothics number
twenty two, Panther number thirty eight, Allen number forty five,
seven to twelve am Big Slide Adirondack forty six er.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
You're listening to the forty six of forty six podcast.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
The journey that led to this moment began nearly a
decade or earlier. In the summer of nineteen sixteen, Bob
Marshall was fifteen and his brother George was twelve. They
were spending the summer with their family near Saranac Lake.
One day someone suggested going on a hike, nothing too wild,
just a climb of ampersand mountain. With them that day
(02:17):
was Herbert Clark, a man from Saranac Lake who worked
at the families camp. But herb wasn't just a caretaker.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
No, he was a woodsman.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
He was a guide, and he knew the landscape, and
over time he became the steady hand behind every backcountry
step the marshals took. That day on ampersand Mountain, something
changed for Bob. Standing at the summit, staring out over
an endless sea of mountains, he felt a spark, a
(02:47):
calling to the wilderness and adventure. Back in New York
City that winter, that spark turned into an obsession. Bob
and George spent eas pouring over Verplank Colvin's old topographic maps.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Bob, the more.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Analytical of the two, began cataloging every mountain in the
Adirondacks over four thousand feet, and at the time there
was no official list, so Bob made one.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Forty six peaks in total.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
That was the number they believed surpassed the four thousand
foot mark, and they decided they were going to climb
all of them, not for fame, not for some title,
but for the sheer love of exploration. So in August
of nineteen eighteen, they submitted their first official high peak,
(03:40):
Whiteface Mountain, a relatively easy one for them, to start with.
But things got harder fast because there were no guidebooks,
no marked trails to the summits, no GPS, no phones,
no online forums to ask questions, no podcasters to listen to,
just a map, a company and their guide. Herb Clark's
(04:02):
sharp instincts and knowledge of the wilderness. You see, they
hiked in wool clothing, wore heavy leather boots, and bushwhacked
through spruce thickets so dense that they'd always emerged scratched,
soaked and completely exhausted. Mountains like coops of Kraga and Allen.
You think are tough today, imagine them back then. You
(04:22):
know no herd pass, no cairns marking where to turn,
no one else out there, just raw wilderness. And yet
they climbed, and they kept coming back for more, again
and again every summer. Now the oldest Marshall brother Bob.
(04:44):
He was described as intense, known for his boundless energy.
Some people called him restless and obsessive, and he documented
everything mileage, wildlife sightings, elevation changes. He even wrote down
about cloud patterns. But he wasn't just about statistics. He
also wrote with heart, with poetry. One of his journal
(05:07):
entry read it seemed hardly possible that I was in
the crowded empire state of today. Not much has changed Bob.
You see, Bob saw the wilderness as sacred. It wasn't
just land, it was freedom. And his younger brother George
was the perfect partner who complimented him well.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
He was the quieter one, the more reserved one, but.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
He was just as committed to the adventure as his
older brother Bob. He believed in the mission, and he
believed in his brother, and they were ready to do
this together. And then there was Herb Clark. Born in
eighteen seventy. Herb had spent most of his life in
the woods around the Saranac Lake region. Now he wasn't
(05:51):
a professional mountain guide in the traditional sense, but he
knew the land, and he guided the marshals of forty
two of the forty six peaks, always with steady humor
and always with a quiet strength, classic Adirondack native.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
To the boys.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
He was known as Uncle Herb, the man who could
read the woods like a book, the man who never panicked,
He never quit, and he never needed recognition.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
A true leader through and through.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
And as expected, their journey to forty six was not
without flaw. It was not without hardship. In nineteen twenty one,
they attempted to climb the remote Seward Range. You know
how it is long days, except now they were bushwhacking,
walking through swamps and there was no margin for error
out there, no trail to get on, no GPS to follow,
(06:44):
just them in the wilderness of one of the most
remote mountain ranges in the High Peaks, and they believed
that they summitted Mount Emmons, only to realize a few
years later they made a mistake.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
They missed the true summit. Now for some that.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Would have been enough and easy to ignore, especially for
the times, but no, not for Bob and George.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
They were men of integrity. So what did they do.
They went back in nineteen twenty five.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
They were determined to do it right, and that's what
led them to Mount Emmons on that still quiet day
June tenth, nineteen twenty five, where they officially finished the
adirondat forty six And when they climbed on that small
summit of Mount Emmons, there were no signs, no celebration,
(07:36):
no patch to be given, no cell phone to take
a picture with the sign. Now just three men standing
in silence, listening to the mountains, knowing that they'd completed
something no one else had ever done. Now, let's talk
about the forty six list itself. Some of the peaks
(07:57):
the Marshalls climbed, you know Blake Cliff Coops of Kraga.
Sure we all know they were later found to be
under four thousand feet. So he might be wondering why
did they stay on the list, Because it's not just
about measurements. It's about honoring the actual journey itself and
the spirit to the forty six. And then there was
Gray Peak, which was originally left off Bob's list, but
(08:20):
it was later added thanks to Russell Carson, who convinced
them that it belonged in the end the forty six.
They weren't chosen perfectly, but they were chosen honestly, and
their story has shaped everything that followed and completely changed
how we view the Adirondack high peaks. Bob Marshall went
(08:41):
on to do more than just hike in the Adirondacks.
He became one of America's most important wilderness advocates.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
He co founded the Wilderness Society.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
He fought for the protection of millions of acres of
public land. His brother George served in public conservation and
policy roles, and their guide Herb well, he did what
most Adirondackers do, stayed right in the heart of the park,
Saranac Lake. A quiet man, a humble man, never seeking fame.
(09:13):
But when the Adirondack Forty six Ers Organization was formed
years later, the credit was clear. Herb Clark forty six
or number one, Bob Marshall forty six or number two,
and George forty six or number three, exactly how it
should be. Fast forward to today, over sixteen thousand people
(09:35):
have officially followed in their footsteps, let alone the amount
of people who haven't registered with the forty six Ers organization.
The high peaks are busier than ever. Yeah, the trails
are worn. Solitude is sometimes hard to find, though not always.
Some say the Marshall's legacy caused too much love for
these mounds, you know, too many people, too much pressure
(09:56):
on the land. But there's another side to that story,
if you ask me, because without that love, there's no stewardship,
no summ at stewards, no trail crews, no conservation, no
feeling of desire to protect these mountains. Do you see
people fight to protect what they care about. And once
you can experience these mountains, you are hooked, and it's
(10:17):
why you keep coming back more and more.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Just like Bob and George did.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Thousands of hikers today care about these mountains as much
as they care about the town they live in. And
that is because there's more to these mountains than just
trails and summits and pretty views. There's something mysterious about
them that keeps bringing us back for more. And it
all started with vision from Bob, George and Herb.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
You know, they finished on Mount Emmons.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Their final summit wasn't dramatic, you know, no sweeping views,
no grand peak like Marcy or Algonquin, just a quiet forest,
a quiet moment. And yet that final step on Mount
Emmons has echoed across a century.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
The Marshals didn't set out to be famous and on.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
They set out to know the wild, and in doing so,
they gave the rest of us a reason to follow.
Over the last century, tens of thousands of people have
been transformed by these mountains and by the adventure in
the Adirondack High Peaks, and it all comes back to Bob,
George and Herb. Thank you to Bob, George and Herb
(11:27):
for being visionaries, for doing the hard things, and for
giving all of us a reason to go explore the wilderness.
The next time you're out hiking in the Adirondacks and
you're standing on top of a high peak, grab your
Nalo Jean and pour one out for George, Bob, and
Herb and raise that bottle for another one hundred years
of hikers having adventure in the Adirondack high peaks, getting
(11:50):
to know the mountains, learning the lessons that they have
for you, and becoming transformed people because of their trails.

Speaker 4 (13:22):
My name is Cody. I live in Washington and I'm
originally from Colorado. I joined James Great Range Athlete program
because I was tired of feeling destroyed whenever I went hiking.
I needed to get stronger and in better shape all around,
and this program was cured for hikers. So it was
a perfect fit. I got way more than I ever
anticipated from it, too, because they didn't realize how powerful
the community aspect of it was going to be. It
(13:42):
becomes a lot easier to break bad habits when it
comes to gym when you have twenty other people every
day doing the same thing. Waking up every morning and
seeing two or three posts from my teammates who got
their workout and already was so motivating and helpful. I
love every second of the program itself, and now I'm
significantly more fit, significantly more physically and mentally prepared for
bigger and longer hikes. It was an a plus experience
(14:05):
all around. James goes out of his way all the
time to make sure that you really succeed, which was
really helpful and makes all the difference. He gives you
that extra push and says, hey, let's keep going. He's
the man.
