People hike the mountains all year long. There is even an organization of climbers who have hiked each and every peak called the Adirondack 46ers club. This is a very elite club and it is hard to accomplish. Others push themselves even more and try to do all the peaks in one season. There is such thing as a summer 46er and a winter 46er. Many people in the adirondack region hike as a recreational sport and many accomplish the task of hiking all 46 giants.
