 | Water Crossing Notes: |
The water crossing at Brackett Brook isn't getting any better-- no snow bridges and high, fast (and sometimes deep) water. Out of our 11-person team, 4 opted to return another day. Here's a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EKwH9C0e6s |

 | Comments: |
Other than the Brackett Brook crossing, the snow is still in good shape. Spikes or crampons are seriously recommended. Keep your eyes on the trail, the postholes are wicked. And poles on the downhill are really handy when you hit the black ice sections.
The views today were fantastic! |
