Comments: Redo of this awesome NH 500 Highest Peak with @knobbiehikes. Barebooted approx 1.3 miles on Brown Ash then began the bushwhack toward Cone, bypassing the smaller secondary peak further along Brown Ash. Snow was knee deep with a few inches of icy crust for the entire bushwhack. The route covered many gorgeous views. From summit, made way down to Cone Pond then doubled back to Orris Rd. following some old hi-vis flagging tape. A brief road walk got us back to the trailhead.
