Northeast 115: Will Robinson climbs the Northeast's 115 highest mountains in a single winter season

This is a mini-documentary to celebrate the hiking accomplishments of Will Robinson. Will climbed the 115 highest mountain peaks in the northeastern United States in a single winter season. This list is commonly known as the Northeast 115. It is not uncommon for hikers in this region to attempt to climb all of these peaks. It is uncommon, however, to climb all of them in a single winter. To local hiking enthusiasts, this would be referred to as a SSW NE115. To my knowledge, Will is one of four people to have taken on this challenge. Snow, inclement weather, freezing temperatures, equipment and travel logistics pose many challenges in addition to the physical exertion and athleticism required. The trip covered ~583 miles of hiking and ~210,000 feet of vertical gain. All the while, Will has retained his full time job as a preschool teacher in Vermont. This was my first time meeting Will and he allowed me to film throughout the day. He is a lighthearted yet incredibly driven individual with a passion for finding unique physical challenges in natural environments. Some of his future goals include climbing summit lists in other areas of the United States and competing in ultra-marathon races. Please enjoy this video on the day of his final two climbs and thank you for reading! #hike #hiker #hiking #climb #mountains #winter #summit #adventure #ultra
