No, never. Biggest climb I've done in US is Bear Mountain which is like 450 meters. I've done some bigger European climbs but nothing really at the level of Whiteface.

Bertina and I go to Lake Placid every Labor Day and this year we are turning it into a week long vacation with both our families so I'll have plenty of time to fit in a big ride.

> The white rock, and presence of rime ice at the summit for ten months of the year, are inspirations for the contemporary name of Whiteface, and likely also for indigenous names, including the Algonquin name Wa-ho-par-te-nie, which has been translated as "it is white", and the Mohawk name Thei-a-no-gu-en, which has been translated as "white head".
