| Comments: |
Laura Cowles was dry to begin with, then turned into a waterfall for a ways. Though rocks were wet one got good traction. It was dry on exposed rock near the top. Three younger male hikers passed us. The 'Chin' was not crowded and we thanked the Green Mountain Club caretaker for his good work. Ridge had spectacular views despite clouds gathering from a distance. Light warm wind. Humid but utterly gorgeous day. Little wet on rock slabs coming down Sunset Ridge, but nothing hazardous. Well-blazed and well-maintained trail. |
