went climbing with a couple friends from work. didn't want to push them too hard. one had only climbed Hurricane a few weeks ago, so wanted something easy!! so of course i took them up beaver meadow falls trail , and we almost went to gothics, but knew not to push him too much, and he was already tired, went to armstong. Trail is well packed a little dusting higher up, but easy to follow. took 6 hours to reach Armstrong, had plenty of time so we went slow, took plenty of short breaks, and they really had a great time, probably a little sore, but defintely want to do more this winter. continued on to upper wolf jaw again well packed trail, and wonderful views. thought about lower wolf jaw but he was too tired to climb again, so headed out wedge brook. got to gate after 5. he wants to go again in a couple weeks, maybe something shorter we'll see

Nice pics Brian. Seems like the ADK's are a little light on the snow too. Maybe more snow will fall before the January gathering.

That depends! There's quite a bit (up to 2 feet in places) up high, where it is not exposed. That's not counting the spruce traps! :D :eek:
