10-10-2010 Climb

13th hike up of the year. We started on the Marlboro Trail and worked our way over to Monte Rosa. Then up the Smith Summit Trail and down the Marlboro Trail after enjoying the view. It was sunny and clear out, but a little windy and the temp was only in the low 40's at the summit.
