 | Comments: |
Lost a televator on Pemi Tr, made summit cones of both peaks interesting. Fell into Cascade Brook at major crossing by junction w/Basin-Cascade Tr up to shins, this is why extra socks are a necessity, got my other pair of socks soaked about half mile below shelter. Long night drying gear w/shelter to myself. Broke trail for entirety of Kinsman Pond Tr and to S Kinsman summit. Every article of clothing is wet from trees dripping all day. F'in jimmy Tr sucked as always for decent, nice and icy/slushy snow. Cascade Brook Tr well broken out w/nice grade. |
