Jim Barnett (BHS Class of 1969) is now a member of ADK46R, the select club for mountaineers who have scaled all of the 46 Adirondack Mountain peaks over 4,000 feet high. The club was started in the early 1920s after Robert and George Marshall published a book "The High Peaks of the Adirondacks" recounting their climbs. The pair believed that all the peaks they documented were 4,000 feet and over, but subsequent geological surveys have shown that 4 of the mountains are slightly less. The highest peak of the 46 is Mt. Marcy which is 5,344 feet.
