Conditions: well packed out, deep snow, including on the ledges
Equipment: used snowshoes all day, helpful for traction, might have been barebootable or microspikes, everyone I saw (8 or 10 people)was in snowshoes, crampons not needed.
Comments: always a great hike, high clouds left views open, love this peak with views north to Washington, west to Carrigan, east to Kearsarge, south to Chocorua. Nice day, quick rise in temps, 5 at the start 30 by the time I rturned to the car, by the # of cars in the lot, many groups must have headed over to Isolation?
