The drop down off North Carter is quite nasty, lots of buttsliding down rock ledges or some creative footwork to stay vertical. The sides of the trail are eroded out from people trying to walk along the edges of the rocks. The trail faces north so it doesnt dry out quickly making it slippery rocks. Great introduction for northbounders to what to expect in the Mahoosucs and Maine but some folks really get slowed down by this stretch
