Comments
Comments: MSR Denalis with the televator were perfect for the Kinsman Ridge Trail. Some drifts (not too deep) above the Kinsman Glade. I started in microspikes and swapped to MSRs when it got steep.

After the lookout and the col which follows, the trail is difficult to follow. We ended up following what looked like a trail which ended on a ski trail which we followed to the Rim Trail and thence to the summit.

Congratulations to Elizabeth for NH48 #48 (Any Season)
