Nine of us met at the left hand PA on Spruceton road, for Rusk/Hunter, to do a loop of SWH and Hunter. A road walk to start then up to the falls where we put on our spikes before jumping onto the Devils Path. A brisk AM ( 12* ) but the blue sky, sunshine and the climb warmed us up nicely with a few stops for costume changes. We set first tracks for the day along the railbed and up the HP in a couple inches of fluff. Only met one other hiker, at the railbed/HP junction, so far on such a nice day.
