| Comments: |
Gorge Brook was solid all the way to the summit. It was crusty the last mile or so but that should be broken up by all the people on the trail today. The short section of the access road at the lodge was solid ice. I wore Hillsounds door-to-door. No need for snow shoes today and likely until it warms up. The summit was in the clear with winds about 40mph but not too cold. Moose was my last peak for my DSSW48. |
