 | Comments: |
The original plan was to hike up to Old Speck, but we got a late start and decided to shorten it to just a loop over the Eyebrow. The ET was a lot of fun. STEEP, with a long section of cable to pull yourself up with, iron rungs in the ledge, and one ladder. The trail also crosses what looks like an open slide (?) which would be sketchy if icy. There are also handrails here if needed. Great views from lookouts atop The Eyebrow, looking straight down Grafton Notch. |
