Lots of water going up Imp Trail. Enough on the ridge too. Some rough spots on Wildcat ridge, but not too difficult for mountain savvy canines. One large barking, growling, leash-pulling chocolate lab had me a bit nervous on the south outlook into Carter Notch. |

 | Comments: |
Nice hike. Cool in the morning, fairly breezy on exposed portions of the Carter ridge. Norman (Yellow Bear) had a blast on this one, especially descending the ski trail at the end of the day. It made for a nice descent especially after the rather long and rough north-to-south traverse, with the especially-demanding Carter Notch coming after having already covered 10 miles. Load of tourists on top of Wildcat D from the gondolas. We saw some groups both at the top and at the bottom, due to the relatively quick ski-trail descent. Cudos to wife for motivating me up south side of Carter Notch. |
