 | Water Crossing Notes: |
The main water crossing looked sketchy in the AM but held me (250 + pack) without making a sound and held a group from the Holderness School after 12:00, the students were pretty light, the adult with them was about my size. With more warm weather on tap for Wednesday and Thursday I don't expect the ice bridges to hold. |

three down threes, one requiring a detour, the other two have been trimmed and are not any issue at all. |

 | Comments: |
Saw two small groups and a group from the Holderness School who had been out for eight days through a couple of decent weather events.
Ledges as you approach the summit are mix of bare rock, thin slush and quickly melting snow. Had to pick my way through with Micro-spikes to stay on snow. |
