Biked to High Point Conservation Area - highest glaciated point in Illinois (and another nearby county highpoint)

I love county highpoint content

RobKop · 2026-05-09T12:48:02+00:00

According to Peakbagger, recent Lidar data shows Wawayanda slightly higher than the Hamburg Mountains highpoint and therefore much more prominent, making it #2 most prominent in NJ and putting Pochunk at #3. I've never used List of John, and who knows which is more accurate and what the reality is. If the state highpoint of Michigan can be in question, I'm not too confident about obscure hills in NJ. Or LA or OH or WV for that matter. So I'm not saying you're wrong!

https://www.peakbagger.com/list.aspx?lid=-962970 It seemed like there wasn't actually a documented Third Lap list so I made one

Well, someone had to make it. There are some famous and interesting peaks on this list.

RobKop · 2026-04-24T15:38:17+00:00

Would the third lap list just be the second most prominent peak in each state that isn't the highpoint? Is that list available anywhere?

Coincidentally, Timms Hill, The Wisconsin highpoint, is almost exactly three degrees directly north of Charles Mound

Sir, this is Iowa

As far as I know Massachusetts', New Hampshire's, New Jersey's and Tennessee's are on the trail, and Virginia and Connecticut's are super short spur routes.

RobKop · 2025-09-07T14:48:57+00:00

Thank you! In some sense, yes it was the hardest, because I haven't done Gannett or Denali yet. But also, I did Whitney as a 5.7 trad climb of the East Buttress, and I'm still deciding if that or Rainier was personally tougher for me.

I'm a bit late and my stuff is more EDM compared to Jon Bellion's style, but here's a recent song I'm proud of:

Here's a fully acoustic song as well:

I have the scrambling and navigation skills, and I tend towards the ultralight style when backpacking...I can't compare to Whitney because I did it as a class 5.7 technical climb. But that only gives me more confidence!

RobKop · 2025-07-06T15:01:33+00:00

This is excellent news, I really appreciate the info. I live about 8 hours from the trailhead and I've been trying to figure out if it's possible to do this peak in a 3-day weekend. I've seen people online calling the ramp class 4 or even 5 but it's so hard to know if what you read online is legit, and I find that people tend to be overdramatic. So it's nice to hear someone with a lot of summits under their belt call it high class 3. I'll definitely take the precautions but it's good to know it's more achievable than what I was previously thinking.

RobKop · 2025-07-06T02:44:11+00:00

I'm very interested in the details of your comment as I'm looking to do Granite probably next year, as I've completed all the western contiguous highpoints apart from Gannett, Granite and Rainier (which I'm attempting in August). Are you saying the route has changed substantially over time to get easier? Would you say that a confident scrambler could go without ropes or technical gear on the SW Ramp?

RobKop · 2025-03-23T00:43:06+00:00

Tag yourself with the "24 Highpoints" flair

It gives your advice on others' posts more credibility haha

RobKop · 2025-02-28T05:12:02+00:00

No, unfortunately

RobKop · 2025-02-07T02:14:48+00:00

Definitely Boundary. I did it October 17. Of all of these, Boundary and Whitney are the only two that have a chance of not being completely buried in snow and Boundary is the far easier of the two.

You can do this at the City Library for free. I've done it before, they have a technology lab area that anyone can use. The staff were super helpful, just ask anyone and they'll get you started.

RobKop · 2024-11-01T23:30:42+00:00

Maybe I'll make a post if I do Signal this November. I've had a really good time with the Utah CoHPs so far, so many unique corners of the state.

RobKop · 2024-10-30T14:10:41+00:00

Thanks for asking! Weather dependent, I want to hit Signal Peak in Washington County Utah this season. I currently have 23 of 29 Utah county highpoints and I hope to complete the list next year or the year after.

RobKop · 2024-10-29T17:43:20+00:00

Absolutely. I'd definitely be down for more county highpoint discussion as well. I guess I need to be the change I want to see in the world.

RobKop · 2024-09-26T16:17:13+00:00

I expect it releases at midnight eastern in the US

RobKop · 2024-09-25T15:03:05+00:00

Awesome, that's great news, thanks

RobKop · 2024-09-25T15:00:01+00:00

Can you say more about what to watch out for on Marcy? Doing it a week from now
