"A hike for Molly's Grid. We did an out and back via Pine Bend Brook Tr. Soft snow conditions down low, firm snow conditions higher up. We wore snowshoes for most of the hike. Overcast day today but we were just below the cloud cover to be able to see the valleys. Saw Denise and Lynn today as they passed by us. " — newenglandwarrior • Feb 11, 2024

"Good crisp day with plenty of sunshine. Low 20s at the summits. First time hitting Scaur Peak just off the Pine Bend trail. A bit of a bushwhack as snow had obscured any herd path. Knock another off the NH Hundred Highest list." — Alohabuffy • Nov 12, 2023

"Claiming the Tri's for my current loop and a Calendar Day. I headed up the Livermore Tr because I was concerned about water crossings. Livermore Tr to Scar Ridge Tr to Pine Bend Brook Tr. An out and back kind of hike. " — newenglandwarrior • Aug 31, 2023

"Molly and I teamed up with Denise, Lynn, and Dan to hike the Tripyramids today. We went up Pine Bend Brook Tr. We encountered ice at higher elevations. Windy day today but mostly clear. We saw smoke on the way back down. A gain of 2 for my Grid today. " — newenglandwarrior • May 7, 2022

"A hike with Molly to help her with her Grid. We went up Livermore Tr and Scaur Ridge Tr to take on North Tripyramid. This allowed us to dodge any river crossings from yesterday's rain. We did an out and back on both Tripyramid peaks. I hit my 100th 4000 footer for the year. Nice day today. " — newenglandwarrior • Sep 25, 2021

"A Tripyramid loop day. Sarah, Katie, Molly, and I started up from the Livermore Tr and went up the north slide. This was my second time on the slide. Lots of fun and steep. Beautiful day for it. We made our way up North, then over to Middle Tripyramid. Molly finished her July grid on Middle. We then went over South Tri and down the slide, then out. A great day outside.

"An out and back on the Tripyramids. We were avoiding river crossings after the massive rain fall on Xmas day. So we went in from the Waterville Valley side via Scar Ridge Tr. I have never gone this way in the winter and it was a nice change of scenery. I needed both of these peaks for my Grid." — newenglandwarrior • Dec 28, 2020

"Solo. 16&17/48. Started out on the side of the Kanc around 0730. My car said it was 39°. The Pine Bend Brook Trail started out nicely, flat and unassuming, mostly dirt with some sections that are likely boggy when it’s wet out. Lots of small stream crossings, but it’s been very dry and I had no issue with stream crossing until the very last one of the day (of course). After about 2 miles of hiking, the boulders started cropping up and after that it was a long haul up large boulder fields, I allowed another solo female hiker to pass me here. Following a sharp left at the top of the worst of it, the trail became a trail again, with some nice sections of soft dirt and flat land here and there. Another hard push and I was ... staring at some rocks. I figured this was the summit of North Tripyramid (4.68mi, 2888’ of gain, @ 2hrs31mins). The weather held at a nice mid 60’s temperature with hazy sunlight. I stopped to stretch my legs and then crab walked down the steeper rocky sections and continued on to Middle Tripyramid. Not much to see here either, but a little something through the trees. (Now at 5.45mi, 3156’ of gain, @ 3hrs12mins). I sat around with some angry flies bu..." — kellieirene • Sep 15, 2020

"Bluebird day and almost too hot to be comfortable. We tackled the Livermore-tripyramid loop. 11 miles with some dramatic sense up exposure on the ascent. The loop makes the viewless summits worth it. " — hiking4000 • Jun 17, 2020

"I did the 11 mile Livermore-tripyramid loop with my brother, dad, and cousins. With breathtaking views going up and down both slides made the climb was worth it, despite all the bugs and heat. " — Eloise200 • Jun 17, 2020
