Tripyramid/Sleepers - (attempted) Whiteface/Passaconaway
Downes Brook Trail
Attempted Kate Sleeper loop - came up Sabbaday on 5/15 and summited the Tripyramids before setting up camp just past East Sleeper. Snowed more than expected overnight and decided to bail out instead of continuing on to Whiteface. Downes Brook Trail was fresh powder through and through - the water's got a bit deep at times - easily past my knees. |
