  * not one of the required peaks but usually climbed and recognized with an * on the certificate. This list is the original 46 high peaks. These were all originally thought to be at least 4000' in elevation by early surveys, but more recent surveys have lowered several of these peaks. These original 46 peaks are, however, still the peaks recognized by the Adirondack Forty-Sixers as the requirement for membership, and they are the group referred to as the "high" or "major" peaks. The criteria for these original  46 peaks was set as follows:


       

46-R Patch            Sign-in Canister

The patch pictured above is an indication that the person displaying such is a registered member of the Adirondack 46-R's.  To become a member each individual must keep a climbing log of the 46 required peaks.  When completed this log accompanies an application for an assigned climbing # in the 46-R's. Of the 46 peaks that must be climbed 20 peaks do not have formal trails established leading to their summits. At the top  of each of these summits is a Canister. Each climber must sign his/her name in the log book to indicate that the summit has been reached. Also the dates & names of the 3 previous entries in the log must be submitted with the climbing report. As of June 24,2001 because the canisters have been found to be  "a nonconforming structure" they have all been removed and replaced by the DEC with signs indicating the summits.
