with SnowBit of redlining, after skipping this peak on my Great Range traverse long ago.
No trip ticket, no rangers, just a trailhead register.

3rd SummitHiked up Rooster Comb after Snow and Hedgehog Mountains. Impressive cliffs from the bottom! The trail was a little muddy and still had some ice on it, but wasn't in bad shape. Views from the top were great as it was a great day to get out in the mountains. Clear skies with temps in the 50's. Fairly easy hike from Rt 73. Hiked with a buddy from work and his dog.
