Comments
Comments: Started my hike at 5:45 AM. Lincoln Woods trail was in good shape (closing on June 1). Black Pond herd path was easy to find (muddy at south end). Lincoln Brook was easy, with some avoidable water/mud. Slide was tricky but not difficult. Brutus had some slippery spots (leaves). A group of three waited at the summit for me, and I kept pace with them on the way back until the beginning of the Black Pond herd path. 9 hours in total.
