Comments
Comments: A quick loop over the summit with a group of 13. Trails are mostly ice covered, thick in some spots, light traction required. Maybe an inch or two of frozen snowpack in the woods. A very clear and not too cold night. Windy on the summit though. Nice view out to the illuminated skyline of Boston.
