"Beautiful bright blue skies providing stunning views north from the summit of Mt Shaw. Snow-capped Mt Washington right in the center. You can literally pick out 20-30 white mountain peaks. Descended across Black Snout and Big Ball mountains. 2-3 inches of snow on the upper half, even in October." — Alohabuffy • Oct 31, 2020
"Planned on taking the Mt. Shaw trail first but then took the Tate Mtn. Trail instead. Met a young man who said that Black Snout was just "a bump"! Signage was nonexistent, would've been lost without my map. Wasn't sure where the peak was for Big Ball, looks like there are two on the map. Headed to Black Snout where I saw the first signage. Trail up very very steep. Once I came out of the forest the peak was surrounded by a carriage road so a nice easy climb to Mt. Shaw, and then an easy descent to the Mt. Shaw Trail, which was also very steep and lacking in signage, though there was the occasional red blaze on trees or rocks. Once I hit the carriage road there it was smooth sailing back to my car." — NHClimber • Sep 29, 2019
