 | Bugs: |
Black files at the summit were voracious. Trail appeared to have been empty for some time so they were anxious to get a bite. Could not stay on the summit for more than 5 minutes. Even in a strong breeze. |

 | Comments: |
The trail was very dry compared to the last ascent of Moat I did back in the Fall of '11. There are spots where it is not always easy to find the path. This is mostly about 2 miles in and through to the summit. Lots of scrammbles over rock ledges and the yellow blazes are very faded. |
