Tough day getting these 2 peaks. I followed a faint snowshoe track to the shelter of 1 person from a week ago. For Wilson, I’d say I was on trail for 80% of the way. For Breadloaf, I was on trail for 20% of the way. My tracks go to the summit but I basically bushwacked there, finding 2 spruce traps on my way down. At one point, it was easier for me to just get to LT North and go to the summit from there (instead of from the south) A fun VT adventure for sure! |
