 | Comments: |
We planned to take Baldface Circle to hit the Baldfaces and tack on Eagle Crag, but the skies were clear so we decided to grab Eastman on our way up to S. Baldface. There was a good deal of snow on Eastman Mountain Trail. Snowshoes probably would not help, but spikes helped with the ice patches. The scrambles were clear of ice, but wet in places. Snow on the north-facing trails, so there was a lot of it from South Baldface to Eagle Crag. It was good having poles while walking over the slushy snow. |
