Originally planned to do this one last Thursday, but it was socked in by clouds (did a little hike to Arethusa falls that day instead); today was much nicer. Did a counter-clockwise loop from the trailhead: up old path, then new path to the south peak, then used the ski trail down from the north peak. Old path is short but packs quite a punch, and was rather steep the whole way! Was glad to go up this way however, as the ski trail ended up being a quick, gentle descent.
Excellent views to the west from the south peak's ledge. 52 WAV requires hiking both peaks now, which makes perfect sense as the views on North were a lot more limited. Overall, a nice short hike, but I'm feeling this one right now!
35/52 WAV |
