Comments
Comments: Day 223, Peak 209. 2nd hike of the day after the two Russell Mountains.

I walked FR31 to the HOL; easy-moderate grades. I then ascended W/SW to the peak at gradual grades at first, then very steeply, then gradual again to the summit. Open woods. Descended the same way. Register wasn’t hard to find but a bear’s gotten into it. I didn’t hang a replacement, sorry. I returned on roughly the same line.

142 more days and 156 more days to go…
