 | Comments: |
Mostly dry, occasional wet spots along the brook, a few muddy spots, all minor. Brutus is almost completely dry with minor patchy remnant monorail near the top of the route. Spikes on/off at 3600' on Owls Head Path. Barebooted along the ridge, but not a good choice so put them on for the ridge and back down to 3600' on descent. River crossings should be tame, easy rock hops by the weekend |
