| Comments: |
Plenty of monorail after 3000 feet. Spikes recommended above the steep brook section; we saw hikers without them struggling. Almost continuous snow between the shelter and the bald summit. Bushwhacked out to Mt Blue — 2’ of snow up to that summit but it’s still pretty firm. Maybe 10% steps led to postholes. |
