Hey guys, Ben here. John and I are getting ready to do Baker Mountain on the Cernac Lake. It's one of the Cernac Sixers. The first one, we just completed the Tuplaya Triad. So now we're going to start the Cernac Sixers. There it is, 11.36 am. Okay, we're just a little bit into this and it's definitely, they say it's pretty much straight up, so that's what you're seeing here. Very popular today, there's going to be a lot of people. So, we got a big rain start on this morning that's luckily we're over. Now we have, there's Guy. So here we go. Okay, look I say this is pretty much all the way to his 12 o'clock. We have done .6 four miles, we're over halfway there. It's pretty much, there's a small section where it finds out that this is pretty much straight up to the whole lake. John's doing a little job. John has been up this one before, actually, he's remembered that when we started. We seem to have separated ourselves from the pack. Okay, we're just a few feet from where we were and it's going to get significantly steeper here. It looks like up over this ridge right just above and left John's head is maybe some hand over hand at you. So here we go. Wish us luck. We'll just come in too, by the way. Yeah, oh, right. Yeah, there's more to go after that. Okay, I can't this. Okay, I'm standing on the second of the cropping. You're outcropping that are steep, but there's a little cutaway here where I call this the squeeze. John is already successfully navigated. So you can see now that this looked like the summit when we were standing below, but it's still way up there. You're doing all right, we're doing all right. Okay. We've just come up this steep incline, how we throw all steep stuff. But off in the distance there, center of the screen, there's a lovely little village of Cernac Lake. And just behind that is Cernac Lake itself. I don't get confused with the lake when you drive into Cernac Lake. There's a lake right off the main drag that is not Cernac Lake. That is Lake Flower. Don't ask me why, but that is how it works. There's some really classic. The lake class is kind of hidden in your, in your other mainstream of lake class, you're looking at mirror lake. And lake class is behind that. So I'm also having these things. But, oh, there's the, what's that thing for romancing this stone? L, L fork, D, I'll, Diablo. Something like that. Devils fork. Right there. Lost treasure. Slightly buried up here by the ancient, new American peoples. All right. So I think in the description of this place, they talk about how there's an easier split to the left. And then there's a way to the right that's harder. I see trail marker further up this way, the left hand side. This way. This john's already halfway up there. So, you know, we'll just go that way. So, we'll do the harder. There's a big rock out coughing right there in the center. So here we go. A little bit. All right. Go ahead. So we actually went left, which is supposedly easier. And the how it could be. I know it's going on over there. But, you know, we won't wind our way up through the center of the screen. There's a left. There's trail markers. So, yeah, it's dicey. Okay. We just made it pretty much halfway to the top of the screen. I'll give you an idea of how steep that is. Wind is really blowing. John is up. John there. I don't know how much further we got. I don't know the right hand side. Hopefully we'll talk. All right. There's another view. A lot of colors. We are close to hope. Pretty much rocky outcropping. Crowns are catching up to us. Oh, all die. It's red and green. It's red and green. Another nice view of Sirac. All colors. We are close to hope. We are rocky outcropping. Crowns are catching up to us. As John is standing by the summit marker of Baker Mountain. And the last time I stood on the summit, I had been drinking until 2am in the morning. So, today's hike was far more enjoyable. Okay. Just a little ways from the summit is this view. Pretty much the rest of it's all tree-ed in. I mean, I imagine you would go bush-wack into the trees, but I'm not going to do that. So, that would be great. Stay with the marked trails, folks. Don't trample the alpine vegetation. There's something over there. If I was schooled geography, I could tell you what mountain that is. No, go up later. Yeah. Here at the foothills of the Anorondacks here. Five peaks are not too far away. So, that is our first Sirac Sixer. This is John's second time, as he's mentioned. for the next 25 years. The spread goes out. Okay, we're here getting ready to depart the summit of Baker Mountain. It's 144. We chilled out here for quite a while, talking to people. 16-week-old Labrador Retriever. Yellow. Cool little dog. But we're getting ready to head down, so 145. Here we go. So 12-230. We made it now. I think I said we left that. 135 or 145. I'll have to check the footage, but that's my first sixer. John's second time doing the same sixer. How much better experience this time? I can't believe I did that hung over. Unbelievable. It's rugged folks. It's steep. There's some very steep sections. I'm surprised by some of the people that manage to get to the top. And there are quite a few people that are turning around. So just it's steep. So, playing ahead, plenty of people doing it. Again, these are kids that are 5, 6, 7, 8 years old. And there are people 50, 60, 70 in there, I think. And there was a guy jogging up it, which kind of pissed us off a little bit. Yeah. We're gonna do. So we're gonna go into Cernac and then go on to Lake Placid. So we will see you again next time. Okay folks, we are in the part of Cernac Lake here. Very essentials over there. It's closed. It's a Sunday, but they have a lot of sixer merchandise over there. But when you get done, all your sixers, there's down, downtowns for next week. When you get done, all your sixers, you come in here and you ring this bell right here. If you don't ring the bell, or if you ring the bell, you haven't, there's the bell. We haven't done them in your ring that bell, then you have the Kisalasa curse. They're explained there on the bell. And then I'll return. I wouldn't attempt it. So over here is your... This is a trail register, so I'm sorry. I'm guessing. Pull. There. That is that. That does not consume it. So this is a... So if you're doing the ultras, you have to sign in here. I think before you start, I was trying to do it all on one day, 24 after. This isn't, you know, I'm not that many people have done it. Yeah. So I don't know if you probably sign this when you're done too, but I think you, I think you require to sign it as a six, and you require to sign, you're all trimming, and you require to sign all of the trail logs at each trail, just to justify that you did it in 24. I've heard you, somebody's gonna check you. So that's what, that's the end goal right there, ring the bell. We'll get a way to go. Head of the leg, last.
