Comments
Comments: It was a great day to be on the Willey Range trail. Going up Willey from Ripley Falls is tough, tough, tough but conditions were great. The ladders were mostly ice free except for one sketchy one, but many were ice free and just wet. We wore spikes 75% of the time and saw a Pine Marten between Field and Tom. We were wet most of the day from the melting, overnight snow on the trees. Views to the Presidential were stunning.
