The sisters were a more challenging scramble than I expected.
Slabs were slightly damp but not bad enough for anybody to turn back.
Blazes are badly faded, not that it will matter once the snow covers them.
One section below North Sister where the trail was narrow and hard to follow through deep drifts of leaves.
Lost the trail on the new-looking rockslide on North Sister. It's probably been said here before, but: do not follow tracks onto the slide. When following the trail uphill, when you see the slide, take a few steps back and look to your right for the continuation of the trail. (Or if you're dumb like me, scramble straight uphill for some thirty feet of elevation and the trail will come in from the right to find you.)
