Madison, Adams, Jefferson, Clay, Washington 8/3 (aborted Presi Traverse)

[blaze]

A few shots from yesterday's presi traverse attempt. We summited Madison, Adams, Jefferson, Clay and Washington before high winds and driving rain convinced us to bail down Ammonoosuc Ravine to the Cog base, where we'd spotted a "Plan B" vehicle on Friday evening.
