Comments
Comments: A fantastic weather day to get out for a Meetup hike with Northeast Peakbaggers. I hiked in a single base layer for the ascent, and added one on the summit and for the descent. There were six of us in the group, and we followed a firm snowshoe track all the way to the summit and back. Very few postholes left by barebooters, but the snow was softening significantly in the late afternoon sun. All in all, crystal clear views and great company, made this one to remember. Thanks to Mike, Samantha, Donna, Cynthia, and Li for an awesome day!
