Comments
Comments: Crystal clear hiking day, excellent 360 views from the summit, and really nice views from the outlook. Came across 4 NOBO and 1 SOBO hikers, and two double and a single dayhiker.

Ledge sections were a little slick in spots on Success Tr, but generally good footing. The chimney section on Mahoosuc required a little thought, but the scramble down then back up was fine, despite my short legs. My hiking buddy is much longer than I, and she had zero pause or issues. Sections of mud here and there that were large, between bog bridges.

Success Pond Road was fine, a little washboard in spots, and a few crazy fast drivers that probably needlessly beat up their vehicles.
