 | Comments: |
Followed the abandoned Priscilla Brook Trail until it teetered out and then bushwhacked to the col between Pliny and the Killkenny Ridge. Bushwhacked to the summit of Pliny and then back to the col. Forest is a beautiful open glade, easy to hike through. Snow levels are still deep enough that snowshoes are highly recommended.
From the Pliny col, we bushwhacked to the col between Waumbek and South Weeks and joined up with the Killkenny Ridge Trail. Trail was completely unbroken and markers were few and far between. Trail should now be broken out from where we joined on and until the summit of Middle Weeks.
From Middle Weeks we bushwhacked along the slab of the ridge back to the Waumbek/South Weeks col and then followed our tracks out.
