| Comments: |
Did a 9.5m figure 8 up Mast, Square Ledge--very nice--up to jct w Walden.
Then down Walden over Namanoonchuk and Hibbard. Verrry steep sections would not want to go up the Walden the other way. Nice views just E of Wonalancet trl jct. Last parts of thw Walden trl are slippery its a game of chutes and no ladders. Lawrence Trl bland, Kelley chugs along a stony brook vale in a box canyon. All the trls are worth the trip. |
