 Parking up the road |
 from the trailhead |
 a steep start |
 hint of a view |
 a rock |
 to scramble around |
 a mossy stream |
 a crossing |
 frost on Giant |
 slick rock |
 vertical rock |
 better view of Giant |
 we reach frost |
 view of noonmark and great range from near the summit of round |
 move through open patches toward the summit |
 commanding viewpoint where we lost the route |
 finding the final scramble |
 posing on the summit |
 heading down |
 fern frost |
 slick descents |
 most choose to add microspikes |
 more |
 steep descents |
 harvesting leaf candies |
 reaching the old dix trail |
 visiting a beaver dam clearing |
 we explore a bit |
 soon we are |
 climbing noonmark |
 breaking for lunch |
 staircase scramble |
 some open rock |
 yields views |
 tricky |
 ascent |
 onto the summit |
 old survey markers |
 view on the phone |
 enjoying views |
 friends |
 sunshine |
 and a good |
 rest |
 whiteface in the distance |
 icy |
 steep descent |
 makes us all pause |
 a great range view |
 more ice |
 looking back at noonmark |
 sunshine |
 lots more |
 careful |
 icy |
 descending |
 a ladder |
 helps |
 just before whacking shin on the bottom rung |
 is the ladder necessary anyway? |
 view of Giant |
 a good |
 resting spot |
 roaring brook falls |
 boulder begs to be climbed |
 down through the woods |
 a bit of the woods is down |
 back to the old dix trail and easy route out |
