 | Comments: |
Was raining when I started, low visibility all the way to the summit which was blowing mist. On way back down, nice views to Monadnock, but its summit was still in the clouds. Ledges bear summit were wet, mossy and very slippery as were places where leaves had piled up on the ledges. There was one 10 section of trail which was ice covered just after junction of Gregg and Shannon trails. Very slippery buy easy to circumvent if to walk on the remaining snow patches. traction not needed. |
