First of a 3 peak day. The weather was supposed to be "light rain" but it held off and we were treated to some gorgeous views at the top. Views of Giant, Noonmark, Hedgehog, LWJ, UWJ, Armstrong, Marcy, Algonquin and many more. Had this on my "to do list" for a while now, now it's done, and I'm happy we went Today. I also would recommend that anyone climbing this peak, check out the view point on the other side. There is a sign about .4 of a mile from the summit pointing to the right to the view point .1 miles away.
