 | Comments: |
This peak is just under 3000ft. and is near Eroll NH.
I had a good view on this peak from mile four. I started by desending from the road into a swamp. The swamp was hard to cross staying dry. I then climbed a short distance reaching a road (I think this is the road from which rocket21 accended). I then climbed steeply through clear cuts with tall grass and thorns. When the clear cuts ended, there was a short run on decent woods. Near the summit the woods are thick with a lots of blowdown.
On the decent I had great veiws of Cave, Rice, and Crystal from the clear cuts. I could also see my car far below. I crossed all of the same terrain and hit my car spot on. This one was harder than I expected. |
