Comments
Comments: Great day out. Saw lots of folks enjoying perfect January conditions and great views today. Started in spikes to the steeps of Blueberry Ledge. Switched to snowshoes for ascenders and there was plenty of drifted snow. Some people used snowshoes for the ledges and others spikes. Lot of snow on the ledges. Still there were several places that were tricky. We carried crampons just in case but they were not necessary. Snowshoes after that across Rollins, to Passaconaway and the car. However some were using spikes the entire way. Great to see Per, Bill, John and Pepper. Thanks to Karen for a fine day.
