Trail is in great shape for light traction or barebooting, very consistent, a delight to hike on.
Notably, met 2 guys who had come up Flume Slide and said that with the snow on it, it wasn't bad. One never even put on traction, though they were well equipped ( ice axes/crampons). Met 2 other guys finishing up a 3-day Pemi loop- Kudos !
Summit temps 12F midday, winds 25-30 mph at times but fine in the trees.
Clear,blue , beautiful day, lots of hikers out.
Just over 4 hrs. roundtrip. |
