Great day out! Windy on the ridge but otherwise relatively sunny and warm for mid November. The snow started ~2800 feet up on pine bend and was pretty ubiquitous until square ledge besides from the whiteface/passaconaway col and some sections of kate sleeper. There was a ton of slick ice on rocks/roots on the north/east sides of tripyamids/whiteface/passaconaway, but they were pretty easily navigated by leveraging myself off trees
I barebooted (bare trail runnerd?) the whole hike.for most,spikes (micro or rock) would probably have been useful for the last mile on pine bend, the descent down south tripyramid, and also the mile descending whiteface towards passaconaway.
Some sections of Oliverian brook are tough to navigate as blazes are infrequent, especially when the river beds start winding in and out of the trail |
