Whiteface in the Belknaps
Tried the jeep road approach to mix things up and see if it was a time saver. Kind of nasty looking due to all of the mud/water pits. Not really a time or vertical saver. Opted for the trailed route on the way back.
Mud was generally all frozen. Pooled water on the jeep road, as well as along the ridge in the normal places, with a thin crust of ice on top. No issues avoiding.
New signage at a few junctions. |
