Water Crossing Notes
Water Crossing Notes: Had to take my shoes off one on the way up Passaconoway Cutoff, but I get humbled by water crossings so someone more skilled would be fine. Coming down, theres a mandatory shoes off one. Both of these would be fine without the rain event though.  
Trail Maintenance Notes
Trail Maintenance Notes: Lots of downed trees, but none were recent. Typical of a trail in a wilderness, nothing crazy though! I felt Passaconoway Cutoff was far more used than the other side coming down Oliverian Brook Trail. If you like beaten path only just stick to Passaconoway Cutoff out and back. 
Dog-Related Notes
Dog-Related Notes: Didn't see any!

Comments
Comments: Really fun way to gain Passaconoway. Harder than Dicey's but significantly more interesting. Definitely understand why Square Ledge got delisted though.
