I started by heading north for a short distance on the Cohos Tr., to get away from the dam. I then dropped down to the lake, heading mainly east across. I bushwhacked up to Corridor 5 through open woods and consolidated snow. I then took 5, to 20, to 143. The route up to the Stubs col had an orange arrow, with 'stub hill' written on it. The spur to the pond is narrow and had a fair amount of snomo traffic. From the pond, I bushwhacked through open woods and great surface conditions to the recognized highpoint. After returning to the col I launched a bushwhack on the north peak. Snow was consolidated such that I was only sinking a few inches. There were some medium-thick snowcoated woods. I reached the ridge and followed it up to the recognized highpoint. I reversed my route for the return.
This peak finished the NH100winter for me (the list I have always used has 103 peaks and differs slightly from the one on this website). |
