Well the winter traverse if you want to call it that of a Carter Moriah Traverse is complete. Clearly the weather cooperated in the most unlikely form for January in NH. We had late spring like weather with a snowpack that was firm and then getting softer throughout the day. We had zero wind, clear visibility, some sunlight, a clear evening and some dense fog.
It was GREAT, that this traverse was attempted, we had it well planned out with optional bail points and everyone forged ahead without thought to Moriah after we tagged N. Carter.
I thought the traverse went by faster than many of us thought. I kept waiting for that part of the traverse where you lose an hour because of route finding but Mutha and MadDog did a great job of getting us to the Stony Brook Trail from N. Carter. The ascent up Moriah was excellent, it is unfortunate the views we had are always behind you because with the sunset and the silhouettes of the Presidential Mountains was picturesque. It was also nice having fog because you did not see the endless lights of Gorham.
One Stroke and G$$$, THANK YOU for the car transportation and to Wildcat and car spotting in Gorham, much appreciated.
We had a great story for the Ski Patrol bunny, FUCK POLE CAT.
It was great having MB, CC and NYC aboard, NYC handled himself well for his 2
nd NH outing ever and first traverse you would have never known.
MB holds the record for consecutive falls off of N. Carter on the descent.
MadDog can always be counted on in the 25
th hour to ask/mumblesomething so extraordinary that I was puzzled how to answer it. His question “What was it like coming off of N. Carter”? ***side note we don’t know if MadDog skipped that part or fell asleep.
The Kanc is brutal when half asleep, Coke fueled the drive and got me back to Lincoln, NH.
Merit Badges earned by all, Spungie will have to wait to get his. This group seemed to knock off the challenge without a problem, will be sure to raise the bar for next year.
DogMan and PM definitely missed.
