| Comments: |
The trail was easy to follow with few blowdowns. I walked it to the wooden arrow and then stayed on an opening headed right. I soon headed up hill and slabbed along the west peak. I slabbed far enough to avoid the sub peak and the col. I then headed straight for Pliny, bushwhacking in open woods all the way to the recognized highpoint.
The woods were open the entire way. I used snowshoes w/tails from car to car. Trail breaking was manageable, but still a lot of work, given the distance and that I was alone. Snow ranged from 8" to a few feet, consolidated at times, and at other times not. |
