Felt like a fine september day. Cool and breezy on the summits and that for sure kept the bugs at bay. Trails in by and large great shape. summit cone scramble on Passaconway gets rougher every year. Rollins in good shape for all its winding ups and downs. Elected to go down the ledges today, a couple of spots that are tough for me on ascent and this worked out perfect on nice dry rock. Staircases in good shape. Blueberry Ledge Cutoff has seen some high water lately and the piles of leaves were amazing in this stretch making route finding along the brook a little difficult. Once past the brook part this is a great trail with by and large fine and soft footing. Great day to be out. 569 and 570 on the knee grid |
