Hiked up from Route 108 and Long Trail. Immediate steep ascent. Had lunch at lodge. As clouds were moving in, views were sporadic. Steep scramble up Chin to summit. Decided to take the Hell Brook Trail back. A sign indicated the start of the Hell Brook Trail and warned that the trail was "Straight Down". I had brought a 40 foot climbing rope. The trail is manageable with out a rope but it still came in handy on several occasions. Trail very slick and steep in places. Nice trail down but would probably be one heck of a work out climbing up.
