Leaders: Pam Gillis and John Sharp
Other participants: 8
Cleared Lake Mansfield to past the summit of Mt. Mayo. A lot of the participants left early, so it was a long day for the rest of us. But we got the work done and the weather wasn’t bad.
Pariticpants included: Rick Manning, Scott Springer, David Feurzeig, Zeke Benshirim, Jacob September, Zoey November, and Annelies McVoy

Abe Hike on January 17th, we hiked up the Battell Trail. It’s hard to say what the conditions will be on February 7th. People do use that trail but if there is new snow you could end up breaking trail. When we hike Mt. Abe in the winter we always bring snowshoes just in case and we carry or wear microspikes or crampons in case it is icy, especially near the top. On the January 17th I used microspikes the whole way, others wore snowshoes the whole way and at least one person wore just hiking boots. So, it depends on personal preference as well as the trail conditions. Good luck.

The Mt. Abe hikes looks great.
What trail did you take?
I am hoping to come up Feb 7 to snowshoe the Battell trail as far as I can manage, but am wondering about trail conditions. I might be solo and will not be able to break trail the whole way, so I am hoping others have been on it recently. I am also wondering about the piece to the summit from the Battell shelter. It sounds like crampons might be in order, but you did not mention them in your report. I am not obsessed with the summit, but with being outside, peaceful and getting a good workout. Thanks for any info.
I hope this is OK to post.
Hughes

He was only ten feet away. I was glad he decided to go the other way.
