| Comments: |
Lots of ice, especially on the upper Ammonoosuc Ravine Trail. Spikes went on about half way to the hut and stayed on until the summit of Jefferson. A mix of hard snow and exposed rock on Monroe and up to Washington. Lots of exposed rock with some ice and patches of crusty snow, especially on Clay and over to Jefferson. Caps Ridge was virtually free of snow and ice until the woods. Boundary Line Trail was part dry, part wet with frozen puddles. |
