There was very little hiking today. Only the last few miles were actual walking. The rest was all steep rock climbing, or skipping on rocks through mud. This was the toughest day of hiking so far. Much of it was hard work that yielded less than a mile an hour.
Several times as I lunge up and forward I teeter momentarily. That's pretty scary as falling backwards could be a long fall into rocks. Not good.
The viewpoints were okay, though nothing like yesterday's open vista.
Tough day. Easily the toughest day on the AT so far.
Eleven hours for 16.5 miles to Franconia Notch
