Comments
Comments: Never saw a clearer, calmer day for a winter hike in the presis! Spikes from start to finish. Airline for the ascent was well beaten down, but major ice flows changed the descent to valley way via the airline cutoff for the descent (trail maintenance note). Valley way had perfect hiking conditions, definitely the calm before the impending storm.
A dozen hikers thru out the day, one solo very nice and well prepared young lady, who travelled from VT to hike Adams.
