 | Comments: |
Beautiful weather, brisk, light breeze during ascent, calm at summit. Excellent view of Cannon, and most of the Franconia Ridge, except Lafayette was hiding in the clouds.
Ice on Mt Kinsman Trail was generally avoidable, but the KRT from the junction to the summit had large sheets of ice, and required microspikes.
