Circumnavigated Chocorua to celebrate the Solstice. Skipped the summit. Ledges were fine, very little water seepage so footing was good. Not as tricky as I remembered. Only one ledge crossing was a little nerve-wracking, as it sloped down and there was nothing to hold onto, but it was short. Very few people on the routes we took, just a nice quiet hike with my honey! Lots of great views all along the way. |
