Nice day to be out if not a little hot. Locating the Long Path on Malden Ave is the key. Once you lock in on the blue blazes, you're golden. Trail mostly dry in the early going but got soggy (on and off) shortly after the side trail to Poet's Ledge. Flatter spots were obviously wetter. No real route finding problems; had the mountain mostly to myself. Only saw two other gents all day and that was when I was coming off the summit. Chill.
