Ascent of Wachusett Mountain on 2010-09-14Date: | Tuesday, September 14, 2010 | Ascent Type: | Successful Summit Attained | Motorized Transport to Trailhead: | Car | Peak: | Wachusett Mountain | Location: | USA-Massachusetts | Elevation: | 1998 ft / 608 m |
Ascent Trip ReportMy first climb in my Mountain Quest series. It being my first climb in over a decade, I stopped several times to catch my breath and drink a bit of water. There are several steep spots on the way up, which added variety and challenge. At the summit visibility was blue skies all the way. I could see both Worcester and Boston clearly. Very few people around (3 going up, 7 or 8 going down).
