- 3 hours 57 minutes round trip today. My guess is about 6 miles and 2100 feet or so of gain.

- Loose and sloppy snow made it very difficult to move quickly
-
- It is always going to intimidate me when you finally catch a glimpse through the trees of the ridge line you need to climb
-
- The Baldface Shelter with the cliffs of So. Baldface rising behind it
-
- Blazes are typically painted about six feet high. This is deep snow.

- Alpine Zones are VERY fragile areas. Take special care when traveling through these areas to protect the area. Damage here can last decades.

-
- The pitch down behind me.
-
- Looking down at the farms down in the Fryeburg area.
