| Comments: |
Snow: All well consolidated. Crust was slippery at times.
Woods: Open except around Baldhead summit where things were a little tight.
I walked Kelsey notch road passing a camp where a wooden fence blocks a branch of the road. I passed the fence and then soon turned right, uphill onto corridor 5S. I followed the trail uphill until it turned right, at what seemed like a height of land. I took to the woods and went straight at Baldhead. From the summit (not recognized) I headed to the south peak. I found better woods by favoring the east. I walked right up to the recognized highpoint. I then took a side trip to the baldhead shelter via a short bushwhack and the CT. I followed my tracks out. |
