Not much to see on North or South Kinsman Mountains yesterday.
But I spent a long time not looking; 6 hr, 55 min; 4,293 ft and 4,358 ft; 11 miles.
This was the third attempt. The first was last summer, a day of 104 degrees carrying a full pack. The second was an overnight with thunderstorm and tent that leaked like a sieve, also last summer. This time a day pack, some cocoa, and winter boots saw me to the top.

Third time's a charm? Under English law, anyone who survives three attempts at hanging is set free. So do you now feel free of the climbing Kinsman compulsion?
