Comments
Comments: Amazing hike in perfect conditions for Microspike use. No need for snowshoes or crampons today.


Saw Presis in clear and Franconia Ridge undercast from N. Twin. Clouds moved in and out for remainder of hike. Due the favorable conditions, we stole these winter peaks (grand larceny, actually). Great hiking with Dave!
