Ascent of Bolton Mountain on 2012-11-05| Date: | Monday, November 5, 2012 | | Ascent Type: | Successful Summit Attained | | Peak: | Bolton Mountain | | Location: | USA-Vermont | | Elevation: | 3680 ft / 1121 m |
Ascent Trip Report... in deepening snow, melt (with hardly any ice, ready with microspikes on tho) and partly cloudy, light all day flurries broke trail beyond Taylor Lodge. On descending into col from Mt Mayo, my reaching for Bolton Mtn met with a moose tramping in and across trail. My realization from up above should have been of a large noisy critter down below (thought of ice cracking). Worried my way back from Bolton in snowy landscape along an easier to follow broken Long Trail, with faded white blazes between Bolton & Mayo (not to mention deep stepping moose track confusing trail in col), got to Taylor Lodge in failing daylight. The worry had been to descend in daytime Mt Clark's ladder and below to cross beaver pond's narrow trail over deep water. I reached trailhead from Taylor Lodge respite with headlamp on!
