Comments
Comments: Warmish day for January. Dripped on by melting snow the whole way. Was completely soaked at the end. Foggy at base, cleared at the hut, but socked in again about 3900'. Nice views of the Cannonballs, Cannon, Lafayette and Lincoln.

Trails were no issue. I bare booted to S.Kinsman and put on light traction for the return trip.
