More redlining. The peak must have gotten heavy rain Wednesday night, as Red Spot was muddy in places but avoidable. Spellman had some wet slabs, all avoidable except what I'd call the crux move...an upward traverse across a down sloping shelf with no real handholds. Only 6-8 feet on concern. The Dora Spaulding conservation area was a nice respite from the typical Monadnock slabs and boulders, and must be really nice in late spring and early summer. |
