 | Comments: |
From our parking spot we headed up the continuation of Old Mountain Road a mile to the col between Middle and NW Ayers Pond Peaks. Open woods with one short steep climb shortly after entering. Gradual climb to the RHP marked by a jar. The register goes back about 5-6 years! Debris from an old camp: tin roof, pans and a tin coffee pot. Retraced our steps to the road and headed into the woods towards Middle Peak. Some minor sections of close cedars then open woods and one scramble to the wide summit. Located the jar near a couple of large boulders. Took a heading and started down to a col with a logging clearing filled with pricker bushes. Followed for a bit then decided to enter the woods instead. Soon opened up as we climbed steeply at times to the summit, locating the jar in a small clearing. Took a heading that would be quickest way to the road. Steep down to an old logging road which lead us back to Old Mountain Road and on to our car. Perfect day with no clouds and spring temps! |
