Comments
Comments: A steady ridge climb to Noon Peak with steep bits somewhat slippery from recent rain, then easy or moderate the rest of way. Many fine outlooks of the Valley area and the high peaks beyond to ENE around to W, and to S from Jennings. Drakes Brook a pleasure to descend with early refreshment in the brook below the switchbacks.
