| Description | Franconia Ridge, Jan 9th 2005
Mike Whitson, Justin Ashmall Given that all the Winter School trips had their complement of leaders and were approaching the 10-person limit, two of us (Mike Whitson and Justin Ashmall) formed a breakaway trip up Franconia Ridge. We took the South-to-North route, i.e. up the Falling Waters path to the ridge, then to the summits of Little Haystack, Mt Lincoln and Mt Lafayette on the ridge, then down to the Green Leaf hut and back along the Bridle Trail to the parking lot. Not only is Franconia Ridge one of the highlights of the White Mountains, but we were fantastically lucky with the clouds and weather. This gaves us views and conditions better than we could have hoped for and we ended up having a truly fantastic day. |
