I would build a few cairns on the ledges for winter, but it's not a deal breaker, as I did a winter ascent before, some could wander a bit here and there. There is some significant erosion down in the woods at about 3/4 of a mile, not sure how to fix it, the trail is almost a trough.
This is a nice trail, but it is of a pretty stiff grade all the way up for 3.1 miles. It had very few slippery leaves on it, which was a nice break, as most of my hikes the last two weeks were slick, especially oak leaves, them suckas are the worst. Crystal clear views from the top, Shay once again refused to climb the tower, he got up 2 steps before he realized it was a fire tower, than the light went off and he exit stage right out of there, lol. It's ok Shay, just climb mountains, good enough for me. This was #13 for his round 2 of the 52wav list. Our goal of 52 in 52 weeks or less is right on schedule. The winter will be the test, although there are many on our winter list. |
