 | Comments: |
The plan was to climb North Kinsman, from the Basin. Spectacular scenery around Kinsman Falls, lots of ice and very high water. But there was no way to cross the Cascade Brook, so I turned around. After some noodling, I ended up climbing N Kinsman on another route, which I will describe in another post. |
