Did the Tri’s-Sleepers-Whiteface/passaconaway kind of loop today-with a planned road walk but thankfully ended up getting picked up. Started up PineBend around 6am- Spikes went on at about 3000ft. Not too much ice but traction helped me keep my pace. No issues-easy summit. Coming down South Slide made me a little nervous-so I took that section slow/careful. The sleepers were great/easy. Few blow downs in path but didn’t have an issue getting over them. Saw some bear prints. Whiteface had a good amount of ice but the actual summit was perfectly fine. Rollins was pretty easy moving-some icy areas. Heading up Passaconaway also had a few sections I was glad to have traction as well as descending onto Pass-cut off. Before square ledge spikes came off And Oliverian Brook was dry-and a beautiful walk out.
