Comments
Comments: Started off the day at Lonesome Lake Parking area temperatures were quite cool but sunny. Path up to Lonesome Lake is packed out well. Section from the hut to North Kinsman on Fishing Jimmy was quite icy. Used micro spikes going up with no problems but if going down crampons would have better for grip. To South Kinsman and back was nice and solid. Views on the way back from North were superb.


Backtracked and took Cannon Balls across. Thanks to the two guys who roughed it out yesterday. Met Glenn and friends who were Bagging North Cannon. Climb of Cannon from the back side was snowy but little ice.


Linked up with Robie and friends celebrating Pam's 48 4000 footer and descended with them down to the tram parking lot. A little ice right above where the hiking trail meets the ski trail on the way down. Thanks also to the pretty young lady who brought down the water bottle I had dropped earlier in the day. I really appreciate it.
