The climb on Sunday by Will Blozan, Bob Van Pelt, and Ed Coyle was
historic is some respects. It was a climb of New England's only known
member of the elite 12 x 160 club. Yes, the Henry David Thoreau pine is
the lone member of that club. BVP recalculated its height at 160.2 feet
and its girth properly determined at mid-slope at 12.3 feet. So the
Thoreau pine in Monroe State Forest enters the record books as our only
member of the exclusive 12 x 160 club. Our less exclusive 12 x 150 club
has three New England members. - Bob Leverett, Oct. 26,
2004
