Comments
Comments: Gorgeous day with stunning views straight across to Mt Washington from the front of Black Mountain Cabin (closed/locked), just .4 shy of summit that has limited views. Only an inch or so of crusty snow over leaves. Footing good in bareboot, but better with microspikes. No wind, so we shed layers early.
