Second short hike today in the region. Barebooted all the way although spikes were handy just in case.
Skies cleared in aft. to provide great summit views to Moose, Green Mtns. in VT and Franconia Ridge to
the East. Some rime just before the summit where the sun did not melt the ice and was very unique spikey
formations. This peak does not disappoint and so worth the effort. TYB for showing me the way on second
visit to Black Mtn :) |
