I much prefer it over the 19-Mile Brook approach.<br /><br />Besides the "airy boot shot", I also admired that vista you captured from the slide when looking upwards toward the rocky bowl high on the flank of Carter Dome.<br /><br />And lastly, regarding your off-trail encounter with the nasty terrain full of large boulders and moss-covered holes, it conjured up memories of a similar encounter you and I had several years ago when bushwhacking up Slide Brook on the west side of the Kinsmans.<br /><br />John<br />1HappyHikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242409292439585691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814464431995035927.post-39828113397658975922013-06-07T23:52:20.456-04:002013-06-07T23:52:20.456-04:00Thanks, Joe - I think you'll like this route.
...Thanks, Joe - I think you'll like this route.<br /><br />That definitely is an "airy" spot for a boot shot!<br /><br />SteveSteve Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16403760631302934834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814464431995035927.post-52898549942388293012013-06-07T16:38:05.400-04:002013-06-07T16:38:05.400-04:00"I highly recommend this route to Carter Notc..."I highly recommend this route to Carter Notch!"<br /><br />I'm sold Steve. That is one great looking trip. I visited The Rampart for the first time last summer and did not play around in there as much as I wanted to. Very cool views from that slide. I assure you my return trip will be via this route. <br /><br />Now that's a boot shot! :)<br /><br />Thanks for sharing,<br />Joe<br /><br />JustJoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07657236449099527872noreply@blogger.com
