A bluebird late afternoon/ early evening hike of this peak. Lots of bare ground mixed with several sections of a softening icy track at lower elevations. once on the Jackson Branch of Webster Jackson the remaining track becomes more consistent with a light slush covering a still solid track. i was able to bareboot till just below the summit. Micros on at this point until returning to the water crossing. The summit was bare for the most part. it was nice briefly chatting with the one hiker i crossed paths with afternoon |
