 | Comments: |
Day started out cold and windy, but got nicer as we ascended. Trails are all packed down, no need for snowshoes as long as you stay on the trail. Steep scrambles on Kinsman Ridge near the summit of Cannon were tricky, but manageable with the spikes. Couldn't believe some people out on the trail were in jeans and with no spikes! Must have been difficult. Extremely windy on the observation deck, only able to stay up there for a second. Number 16 for Sadie and I! |
