Ascent of Mount Frissell-South Slope on 2007-10-10| Others in Party: | Mary Urban
| | Date: | Wednesday, October 10, 2007 | | Ascent Type: | Successful Summit Attained | | Peak: | Mount Frissell-South Slope | | Location: | USA-Connecticut/Massachusetts | | Elevation: | 2372 ft / 722 m |
Ascent Trip ReportParked near the state border on Washington Road. Hiked on the Frissell Trail to the summit and then down to the State Highpoint on a cool, rainy day. My wife did not want to come back down the steep trail so we decided to take the alternate route which was "easier". Hiked to the Tri-State marker and then hiked down the South Taconic Trail to Boston Corners Road in New York. Hitched a ride back to our SUV with a very nice teacher from The Hotchkiss School in Connecticut. South Taconic Trail is very steep with some great views. My wife did not appreciate the "alternate" route. HP #28. |
