6 x 35 on Rocky and Lone

[Tom Rankin]

I finished my 6th round of the 35 today on Rocky and Lone. We did Rocky first, from the end of the Fisherman's Path, and then 'staggered' over to Lone, (I was leading, because Laurie made me!), and back down to the FP.

A couple of notes. The tree that holds the Canister on Rocky is pitched over at a 45 degree angle. It is wedged against another tree, or it would have fallen all the way. There were a lot of blowdowns on the FP, but up high, not really a problem. There was 1-2" inches of snow on the ground in most places. The Lone Canister tree is quite dead and recently lost a large chunk of itself, but the trunk is still vertical. Water levels were pretty low. No traction aids were used.

For the 7th round, I just need R/L again, and Doubletop.

Tom,
That's pretty impressive.
I've kept all hikes on a spreadsheet and after seeing your post, went to take a look. Just bumbling along with no real focus on the 3500ers, I have just a few for left for round 5, and a bit more for 6. I've had some stragglers hanging around for quite a while. With a little attention, could finish 7 but by then you'd be at 10. My problem - too many lists and not enough focus on just one. Way to go. And of course Laurie is just unbelievable....
