Special Required Equipment: Boots and warm clothes! Stabilicers might be useful but I didn’t need them.

Trip Report: This was a nice easy peak for the most part. Lots of hard icy snow above 3000' and a very well broken in trail. There were TONS of blow downs above 3700 some very hard to get around. Most of them recent, some VERY recent. Met an interesting hiker along the way too! For the full report as well as pictures go here: http://hoosactunnel.net/nonhoosac/NH/Waumbek061029
