| Comments: |
A nice cool cloudy and very breezy day, but it was OK in the trees, above treeline would have been a very windy day. Temps from 20 to 35 with some sun early then cloudy. Franconia Ridge and the Presidentials in the clouds otherwise views were good to other peaks. Just a dusting of snow in places but the ice was tricky. Barebooted up to East Peak and back to Osceola where I put on my stabilicers. Took them off for the last mile to the parking lot. |
