| Comments: |
A great day on Hell Brook now that 108 is open. The lower rock scrambles were very wet in places but our group and many others were able to navigate unscathed. Adams Apple is mostly dry, and the final steep scrambles up the Long Trail to the chin are dry. The Subway was wet but passable.
Microspikes came for the ride. |
