Couldn't cross at the Sandwich Mtn trail crossing. Followed the brook down stream until I found a place to cross. Required rock hopping and a fairly good jump to make it dry.

 | Comments: |
Had intended to go for Sandwich Dome, but a late start combined with awful snow conditions forced me to cut it short at Jennings Peak. Very slow going. Constant post-holing, especially on the way down. Some areas required extra traction. Couldn't have asked for better weather though. The warm sun made being wet not so bad. |
