Climb number 36 in the bag. I had a nice hike through about 8 inches of hard pack snow up a rocky hillside with boulders covered in lichens. The lichens were large and flaky. Bigger than I have seen anywhere else in the state. At the top, I found a small stack of rocks which other hikers likely created to mark the high point of the county. I shot my rope into a large red maple and made my climb. This time I learned from my mistake earlier in the day and I made sure I had all of the proper equipment hooked up. I haven’t done too many triple climbs in one day with this project. It was a great day.
