Oct 24th, 2017: Krummholz
Krummholz is German for Crooked Wood. No, not a politician’s boner, trees, crooked trees.

The Adirondacks, the domain of King Griff, they claim there are 46 peaks over 4000 ft high, climbing out of 1500 ft valleys. The highest of the 46 being Mt Marcy at 5344 ft. Newer surveys show there are only 42, with 2 missing by 40 ft, the other 2 missed by 105, and 180 ft. Hey, close enough for hand grenades and mountains. Although none sound as impressive as the 12000 ft and 20000 ft mountains, don’t be fooled, there’s a reason the Krummholz zone in the Adirondacks is so much lower, namely severe terrain plus badass weather. I groan at a flight of stairs. link link
