12-10-2010 Climb

17th hike up the mountain since the start of the year. I took the Dublin trail up and back with a walk around in the woods near the bottom. It was about 15 degrees with just a little wind. No snow yet, but there is getting to be ice on the mountain. It was clear enough in the morning that I could see the snow capped White Mountains on the way up, but once I got to the summit they were in the clouds. I also finally met Larry Davis this hike. He holds the distinction of the most hikes up the mountain (almost every day and over 320 so far this year) and the most consecutive days hiking the mountain (2,850)
