 | Comments: |
No spikes needed - minor, very avoidable ice patches and surprisingly dry on the ledges beneath the fire tower.
Counter-clockwise circuit. Cloudy and brisk but still that fabulous view from Little Blue Job of the Belknaps and the Whites.
This was a fast run up ahead of minor knee surgery; given this is only 400' gain/1.8 mi or so round trip (Southern NH guide's mileage differs from signs)and the super easy Little Job only option if needed, I suspect we'll be returning soon. |
