Can't believe this weather window currently as it was way too windy for grid peaks, gusting 25-30 with a sustained 15-20 at unknown pond, yet there was almost no snow/ice anywhere even on the summit of a 3600' peak in the middle of December! This peak is basically a rookie mode whack for peakbaggers as its just find a herd path and follow it up the ridge until they combine into one herd path on the birch glade shortly before the knob with the summit canister. Theres a moose shed antler directly under the canister. Took a side trip to visit the tentsite which is in great shape and had lunch with a view at the top firepit |
