Ascent of Balsam Mountain on 2010-10-03| Date: | Sunday, October 3, 2010 | | Ascent Type: | Successful Summit Attained | | Peak: | Balsam Mountain | | Location: | USA-New York | | Elevation: | 3600 ft / 1097 m |
Ascent Trip ReportI was going to bushwhack Rusk but the road ws closed and parking was problematic due to all the rain this past week - some roads and bridges were out.
Scooted over to McKenley Hollow and climbed up to the junction in the col and turned right for Balsam. Past Balsam about another .3 is a good view. Came back down to the same Junction and went up the other side past Haynes and over to Eagle.
Beautiful day for hiking!
