 | Comments: |
Typical spring conditions, still snowpack up high..used rock spikes as there were plenty of bare spots between the snow pockets..unstable monorail in many spots..of course some good footing in many places on FWT then some rocky, eroded areas..few big mud pits..NTT in good shape other than the blow down early on...got a decent view of the backside of the Rosebrook Range (Bretton Woods ski area) and part of Presis, and the cliffs of Zeale, from that small blowdown patch approaching summit of Hale.. |
