As Mike P's report stated, not a great day to be up high, but there were still plenty of people on the ridge. The clouds parted for a few minutes while we were on Monroe, and cleared out almost completely while we were on Lawn Cut-off. Washington was socked in by the time we got there, and it was a zoo as usual. Left Washington as it started to rain, though it stopped a few 1/10th's down Crawford. Slick going down Ammo, and took the spur to the Cog and roadwalk instead of the trail. Congrats to Anya for #34! |
