Went in from Beaver Brook ski trails. Barebooted to Galehead hut. Snow was firmly packed, just right. Snowshoes put on to go up Galehead, mostly for traction, left the snowshoes on for South and North Twin. Replaced shoes with microspikes at the third river crossing. Doffed microspikes ~1.5 miles from trailhead. Mostly bare ground to Seven Dwarfs.
Saw only one other person all day outside of our group of seven. Light snow fell just about all day. 1-2" of new snow on the high summits. A balmy 10 degrees on the summit of South Twin. More like a January day than an April day.
One of our group split off after climbing Galehead and headed over to Garfield. Garfield was peak #575 on the grid for this person. Can you guess who it is? One to go- next weekend!
