Some blowdowns, but all navigable. |

 | Dog-Related Notes: |
Didn't see any pups up there, it would have been hard conditions for a dog with the strong winds. |

I lost a mitten. It most likely got taken by the wind and is now on Owl's Head or something. |

 | Comments: |
Ice on Falling Waters Trail (to be expected), some ice on the ridge, not much. Patchy snow. Stable monorail descending from Greenleaf Hut. I wore spikes the entire time and was happy with that choice. |
