Water Crossing Notes
Water Crossing Notes: Many water crossings today through out the climb. Most of them were one steppers. I did break through on one crossing breaking off at least 4 feet of ice. You`ll have a better chance of doing it right where I didn`t.:)

Comments
Comments: The big difference between Waumbek and Cabot was the footing. On Waumbek, the base was solid, where Cabot had a much softer, but firm base. I should have worn my snow shoes on this one. My bad!!!

3 inches of snow down low with 6-8 inches of snow above 3600ft. Very easy to navigate the trail.
