What a great day for this hike starting from Galehead Hut. Mostly sunny, comfortable temps and great views all around. Trails are in good shape mostly dry but there are intermittent avoidable goopy spots here and there. It was great to chat with many of the hikers on the trail including Andy who finished his 48 over 75 years old on Bondcliff. It was a long day but a lot of fun with great company including special guest hiker (now team member) Sadie who we met at the shelter and got her 20th with these five peaks. Hiker of the day was Kwi-Hui who finished her 48 over 70 years old on Zealand. Congratulations Trail Mother. |
