| Comments: |
Stony brook trail mostly dry with a few muddy spots until 2600 feet, then spits and spats of avoidable ice til the junction of Carter Moriah trail. Bits of avoidable ice from about 3400 to 3700 feet on Carter Moriah trail. All ledges were clear! At 3800 feet, donned the microspikes which came on and off a few times. Ice mostly on shaded trail between dry ledges. Last 1/3rd mile kept spikes on til the summit. Nice meeting Franco today! |
