We started our trip with a quick climb up Mt Liberty and then followed Franconia Ridge over Mt Lincoln, Little Haystack, Mt Liberty and Mt Flume. The weather was extremely cloudy and drizzly until we got to Little Haystack at which point the clouds magically disappeared and the sun came out allowing us to have a nice lunch (at exactly 12:00) and nap. Clouds eventually blew in to wake us up, and we continued to Mt Liberty. Despite countless warnings not to go down the Flume Slide trail, by the time we reached Mt Liberty we decided that we were all having too much fun to quit. We continued on through fog and rain to Mt Flume and descended steep and slightly wet rocks on the Flume Slide trail. Luckily, it only started really raining on the last mile of our trip.
