|
|
 | Water Crossing Notes: |
No issues, easily rock-hopped |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Trails in decent shape for the most part. Greeley Pond Trail bog-bridges are in rough shape, some are relatively new but some need replacing. There's one blow-down near East peak that has been limbed and an easy duck-under. |
|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
I left my canine hiker home today...she's a mountain doodle but this route is not a dog-friendly as the trail from Tripoli Rd. |
|
 | Bugs: |
Bugs were hungry today, especially the black flies on the top of O....they love sunny ledges so I probably spent less than a minute up there before heading back towards East O. |

 | Comments: |
Quite a bit of rain the night before made this route more interesting, especially descending from East (this should be on the T-25 list). The chimney was a bit hairy but passable. I took the bypass on the way up because a couple were descending the chimney; but descended it on my way back with no problems.7.8 miles RT, and 3,100' elev gain. |
