you are doing that in a day? or a few days? going down Mansfield is steeper but easier on the knees and shins.
The thing about camels hump sobo is that you start at almost sea level and climb forever....

Weather cooperated nicely. I stayed in the bromley ski patrol building last night listening to it rain dreading trying to hitch into town in the rain and when I woke up it had stopped. Got a lift into town in about twenty minutes. Sorry I didn't get out your way. I opted to stay in town so I could walk around at my leisure. I hear you are booked solid. A hiker at the inn at long trail was bummed he had to stay at the Avalanche because you were full.
Man 10K , your flying. I just made it to Waitsfield today and found a libary. Vermont has eatten the tips of my Leki poles and can't find replacements here in town. Man, this trail is beating me up - glad I'm almost to the "easy" sections! Now for me to find a laundramat and a place to stay tonight!

The mountain goat outfitter in Manchester center has Leki tips. My black diamond tips didn't make it to Lincoln gap either.
The bag has been overkill really. Temps have been in the mid to upper 50s at night and in the 80s during the day. I understand September it cools down a lot so it'll come in handy then I bet.
Slo, after Lincoln Gap it's like a completely different trail from then on. I've went from 15-17 mile days back to the mid 20s since then. 27 yesterday was my longest trying to get set up to drop into MC early so I could make it a near zero day as possible.
Weird you guys trashed your pole tips.. mine still have the indent even.
Tossing them down in front of me like a spear so I could climb down rocks did mine in.
Thanks for the updates 10-K and Happy Birthday.
Did you get to blow out any candles on some kind of yummy cake?
