| Comments: |
Glencliff was dry until about a mile up then quite muddy. Ice began another mile or so up the trail. It would have made things difficult without spikes, especially on the way back down. Further up the trail, there was a sketchy monorail that got softer as the day progressed. We kept spikes on all the way up until the treeline. Amazing views from the ridge line and the top of Moosilauke. We got a bit of hail and rain after we hit the south peak on the way back down but nothing that could dampen our spirits! Great day of hiking today! |
