| Comments: |
More snow than my group was expecting in the summit area, around 6 or so inches. Required microspikes 3 miles into the voyage and traction was fine from that point forward. Unknown Pond trail had not been travelled on since Thursday/Friday snow and was not well marked as we made our way up to the Horn/Bulge. No wind at all on Saturday, beautiful day to bag Cabot. |
