Date(s) Hiked: 10/28/06

Trails(s) Hiked: Bunnel Notch, Cabot Tr, "Oh my god they killed kenny" KilKenny Ridge tr.

Total Distance: 9.8 mi RT

Difficulty: nightmare

Conditions: Wet deep heavy unbroken snow with high speed wind.

Special Required Equipment: high waterproof boots would have been nice.

Trip Report: This was a pretty miserable slog I would say. From 3000'+ the snow was deep wet and unbroken. I got absolutely soaked here despite the above freezing temperatures I felt very very cold. The snow made the ascent very tiresome. I had a nice big wad of melting snow wang me on the head near the summit! Nice shelter near the top though!
