I have pictures from every trip to the peaks, some trips I only took a dozen or so pictures due to weather and others I took close to one hundred. I have an album with pictures from most of my trips. I may make a slide show of the Adirondacks but that will take some time to do. At my old work my screen saver was all pictures from my adventures and it made for good conversations when I had sales reps in. You would catch them watching the slide show and loose track of what they were selling.
Chris, interesting article I recall a few years back a man from out west (Colorado I think) ran the summits of all 46 peaks in 40 or 50 hours not sure how hi was timed. When I was doing the NP trail we ran into a group of young men that were trying to get all 46 peaks in one continuous trip. They had 28 days to complete it, they were on day seven and had eight peaks done, they also were carrying 75 to 80 pound packs.

40 or 50 hours in a row? 
or total time?

Jim,
Congratulations on this fabulous achievement. No easy fete -- and not easy on the feet! (Very small joke.)
I actually became a waterfall seeker while attempting to hike Mt Liberty in New Hampshire in 1994 on the Falling Waters Trail. I realized that I could take in three or four waterfalls in one day, breaking up my hiking into shorter chunks, rather than make the constant one-foot-in-front-of the-other effort all day long, with the first half going uphill. This was also a lot more agreeable to my hiking partners -- my kids. So I haven't climbed too many mountains. But I did climb Mt. Chorocua here in NH a couple weeks ago -- 3,490 feet. An eight mile round trip to a spectacular view that's worth every step.
This site does not have a tremendous amount of info on Adirondack waterfalls. Possibly you have some pics or trip reports to share at some point. I did a week in the Adirondacks four or five summers ago, it was great. Only downside was a lack of NY state campgrounds. We stayed in a private campground in Au Sable that was below par. Congrats again and thanks for posting.
