We followed the slight shadow of a path all the way in. There was some confusion on the location of the Brutus bushwhack. We initially passed the true point to follow the previous tracks. Those tracks led to a second set going up (or down?) but they were wrong. We backtracked towards the river crossing. The true start of the path is 70 steps (I counted) after you cross the final river crossing. Disregard the track that continues on. We used micros/Hillsounds all day. The entire path from the Black Pond, all the way up is now clearly broke out...till the next snowfall. |
