 | Comments: |
We went up and down the Slippery Brook Trail and encountered some monorail on the Bald Knob Trail, and two or three snow patches heading up the S. Baldface cone. We met a young man who did the whole Circle Trail and he said the ledges were wet and slippery in spots and there was several spots going down N. Baldface where he postholed waist deep. Just short stretches, though. The larger stream crossing, he said, were tricky, but doable.
