Valley Way and Osgood trails well packed out with blowdowns on Valley Way easily avoided. Wore microspikes to about a quarter mile below tree line then changed to crampons for both peaks. The summits were in the clouds initially but the sun broke through just before we hit tree line. It was an AWESOME day above tree line with excellent visibility from the summits with moderate wind. Styrofoam snow on J.Q. Adams. This was the second round in winter for both Bob and myself. Got J.Q. for Trailwrights, 60 of 72. Hiked up with Bob, Charlie and Tom and met up with Ben and Denise at the Hut for the hike out. Thanks to all for great company. The day was truly a gift.
