Trail conditions were very good. It appears that some recent blowdown removal has been done on the upper portion of the Old Summer Club Trail.
If you've never hiked in this area before, it's probably best that you bring a guidebook with you, or at least take time to familiarize yourself with the trail description before you begin your trek. There are no signs or blazes until you reach the point where the Rowell Link trail comes in from the east. Upon reaching that point, the northbound Cohos Trail (CT) network begins. From there on, the trail is yellow blazed with some small CT wooden signs here and there.
In the col between South and North Percy is where the unnamed trail to South Percy takes off to the left (SSW).
My BLOG (link below) has some photos from this trek.
