| Comments: |
All surfaces were wet today. Care was required especially on descent. The most difficult area was the steep rocky slope approaching the top of the river valley (plenty of wet leaves and moss on rocks). At higher elevations the trails passed through primarily evergreen zones which meant no leaves on the ground. Scrambles over the steep slippery ledges just below the North Tripyramid summit can be avoided by using improvised side paths through the adjacent woods.
Met many others hikers from both the Livermore Rd and the Kancamagus trailheads. Some had ascended via North Slide. |
