We managed to drive in Success Pond road all the way to the mahoosuc notch trailhead with 2wd cars, and hiked in a couple miles to camp at the west end of the notch. We practiced crevasse rescue skills and walking roped up through the notch. Amazingly, there was an extra foot of snow in the notch compared to outside!
Sunday morning we planned to ice climb, but it was super cold (-20F according to one thermometer!) so we just hiked out. One car wouldn't start and had to be towed out with some climbing webbing, but we all eventually made it safely back to Boston
