Summary

Should Mount Tecumseh Be Included in the White Mountain 4000 Footers List? Peak-Bagging the New Hamphsire 4000 Footers with Mac Cerullo Journalist and peak-bagger Mac Cerullo joins the show to talk about writing for Outside Magazine about Philip Carcia's White Mountain Single Year Grid, and about his own quest to hike the New Hampshire 4000 Footers. We discuss many topics about the Whites, ranging from some of the areas we would like to hike in the WMNF that are not part of the 4000 footers list, some of the overrated New Hampshire 4000 footers, and about the controversy surrounding the fate of Mount Tecumseh and other peaks, since they have been proven to be under 4000 feet.

0:00.0	How's it going everybody? You're listening to episode number 44 of Trail Tales. My name is Kyle O'Grady. I'm a through hiker. I threw hiked the Appalachian
0:22.1	Trail in 2018. I'm a peak bagger. I finished the New Hampshire 48 and the Adirondack 46. I'm
0:29.5	almost done to the Northeast 115. That's pretty much my hiking resume there. And this is the
0:35.0	podcast where I chat with other through hikers and other
0:37.7	peak baggers and other people who are just stoked on hiking just like myself
0:41.7	about their experiences on the trail now maxirulo a peak bagger and journalist
0:49.8	joins the show Mac has completed the 4,000 footers in the White Mountains of New Hampshire.
0:57.1	He also wrote this amazing article about Philip Karch's single year grid for Outside
1:01.7	Magazine and you should definitely go check that out if you haven't already. Folks, this is just
1:07.4	a bunch of White Mountain Talk pretty much. I mean, we do talk about the article at the beginning.
1:12.6	Mac was actually with Philip when he finished the single year grid.
1:15.6	So we talk about what that was like, kind of being involved in that whole crazy ordeal.
1:20.6	And then, yeah, we pretty much just kind of shoot the shit about the whites.
1:24.6	I think one of the most interesting parts of this conversation is when we talk
1:29.1	about this kind of controversial issue where some of these peaks in the New Hampshire list
1:34.1	might not actually be, or they're not 4,000 feet, there's a couple of them. And this just came out
1:40.8	recently. There were some surveying errors and, you know, there's kind of this discussion going on right now about what should be done with the list. Should we keep it the way it is for tradition's sake? Should we change it? There's just a whole bunch of stuff going on and I actually didn't know that much about it. So I was able to kind of learn through him and hopefully if you aren't aware
2:00.8	you can learn as well so Mac thank you so much for coming on I really really
2:07.0	appreciate it one of the really cool things about this episode is that I was
2:12.6	actually directly inspired to go back to the White Mountains and do a little
2:16.5	loop in the sandwich range
2:17.8	because of this conversation. So my regular listeners might have realized that I didn't,
