Comments
Comments: Trail is packed by snow-cats from Pinkham visitor center to the first aid cache. Our group barebooted or used light traction to the cache, then switched to crampons.

A stellar day. Not a cloud in the sky. The Forecast called for NNW winds 25-40 but that never happened - I don't think we ever saw 15mph. We never used goggles or shell mitts, and I did not don a Gore Tex shell until we reached the summit.

Thanks to Rob B, Al B, Ron C, Ron D, John G, John O, John P, and Mike R for a great, great day. Special thanks to John G for organizing the annual winter weekend at the Radeke Cabin.

Nice running into Jared (sp?) from Berwick ME on the summit - 3rd time I've seen and spoke to him on the mountain.
