Wonderful day to bag these peaks. Temps in the 60's. Slight breeze. Plenty of parking at Abol. Didn't need a reservation. The slide is long and steep but I did not find it very tiring. It is however tedious. Very steep in places. Loose gravel in the midsection and large boulders up high. Care is needed in foot placement. Only regret is not bagging North Brother. Weather got in the way. Very cool place. |
