| Comments: |
Warm sunny day made the snow heavy and wet. Followed fresh snow shoe tracks most of the way up, to a couple tenths before the ledges. Met the two trail breaking ladies as they were heading back. Snow was crusty on the upper section. Snowmobiles have accessed the summit ledges from the north, driving right up to the summit cairn. Gorgeous views of Maine's high peaks. |
