Dial after the ascent of Nipple Top with my wife Brigitte Doyon
As we left Nipple Top, the snow started to melt a lot. The sun was more present.
It was slippery going down to Dial. We were surprise to notice that the view was not as bad as all the comments we had read on several blogs or Facebook page.
It's not a 360 view but still pleasant. It is at that time that we noticed that the sun was going down and fast.
Our descent was quite long. We were hopping to at least get to Lake Road before we had to use the head lamps.
Which we did...just in time!
This was a fantastic day with 2 great summits.
