 | Comments: |
I wanted to get these two peaks before the arrival of the snow. On my way back from S. Kinsman I met Wolfgang's group of six with Steve, John and June among them who had the same idea. They came up from the east side wearing microspikes and will give their trail reports separately. Also met Nick who I ran into on Flume last Saturday. The snow did not start until I was halfway down Mt. Kinsman trail. Great day with no wind, though no view. |
