Comments
Comments: Nice view, wading across stratton brook road was far from ideal. Got started at 1pm, snow on the trails to the north side of the mountain was not bearing, very wet and weak. Shirtless for most of the hike, the peak at 4:30pm had a beautiful late afternoon shadow, still made it back to rt. 27 by nightfall(7pm)
