Enjoyed another great hike of Gray, Skylight and Marcy. We stated at the Loj under the moonlight and made our way to the base of Gray in just a few hours. From here the quick 600' climb to Gray was 40 minutes round trip followed by the beautiful hike up Skylight. The back of Marcy was very icy which made it little slower but that gave the sun time to come out and the rest of the day was a warm winter hike under bright skies. Back at the car at 3:30 - what a great day!
