Middle & North Tripyramid

Cold winter peakbag

35 Middle Tripyramid 4140 1/10/15 32 North Tripyramid 4180

Took the pine brook bend trail, off the Kancamagus highway.

Zero degrees and 80% clear.

Had a note in my journal to get a water insulator. It felt like the coldest hike I’ve ever been on, 1pmh the way up 2mph + down, u. Used microspikes, post holed once or twice. The rivers were thickly covered with ice and we came across a dozen or so blowdowns.

The trees either shrink or the snow-levels increase
