Comments
Comments: The ledges off of Belknap on the Boulder Trail were very tricky. Just a thin layer of ice but traction would not have worked. After that all trails and peaks (Round Pond, Mack, Klem, Anna, Straightback and Major) were fine. Leaves make you really watch your step as they were wet(slippery) and covered the holes and rocks. Still a great day out.
