 | Comments: |
Good conditions. Snowshoes helpful on Falling Waters, especially on decent, with snow softening up quite a bit. Some barebooted or cramponed and consequently postholed. Crampons helpful from Franconia Ridge to Lincoln, but lighter traction would have worked. Face protection required, due to high winds close to 50 mph in a couple of spots. Nice hike with my pal Rols. Also ran into old friend, Mt. Pa (Mike)! |
