Lost and Found
Lost and Found: I found all my lost items. Had a pocket come open and found some valuables missing. I was really glad to be following my tracks out as I recovered everything. 
 
Comments
Comments: Having done these from Hancock Notch and from the West peak, I decided to go up from the highway this time. I made a T-shaped route, heading to the col, bushwhacking each peak, and following my tracks back

Surface conditions were very easy. The biggest challenge was wet snow in the trees. I wore snowshoes the entire trip.

I started out in match stick forest, which then turned to more spruce, alternating with glades. About three quarters of the way to the col, things got pretty thick with occasional blow-down 'walls.' The col. is more open, but the small trees were covered with wet snow, which soaked me.
