Comments
Comments: Black Pond bushwaks drops to the brook too early, I took a better route on the way back, one set of tracks joins the track from the left as you head in, better route but not as packed.



One group ahead of me had turned back when they lost the trail after missing the OH path where brutis joins above th slide, a second group pushed up through the fur and found the ridgeline, I happened to spot the wrong turn on the way in. All of the outbound tracks will follow the correct route, make sure you bear left when heading up the bushwhack.



Broken route goes well beyond the new summit, carin sticking out of snow, there was already no sign when I got there.
