The Terrifying 25
We started hiking the Terrifying 25 before there was a list or a patch. Our very first 4,000-footer happened to be climbing Whiteface via the Blueberry Ledge Trail, a Terrifying 25. And yes — read the trip report — we were scared (actually Pat was fine — I was petrified!)! We’ve learned one thing about this list — it’s easier to hike these trails before you know they are on the Terrifying 25 list. We’ve also learned that climbing a trail while your heart’s pounding from fear can be thrilling and arriving at the summit is absolutely exhilarating.
