I did some trailwork with the GMC and then hiked all three Stratton Mountains.
On the way to the shelter on Friday I got briefly offtrail. On Saturday it was very hot and the black flies were out in force.
This was the first time I'd ever been on Little Stratton or North Stratton. Little Stratton was a short, but steep and hobblebushy, bushwhack. North Stratton is a ski resort. There was no skiing, but the gondola was running, and I was able to get a soda at the little restaurant there.

The original plan was to hike into the Great Gulf on Tuesday, climb Jefferson and maybe Adams with a light pack on Wendesday, returning to camp, and then hike out on Thursday. When I started climbing the Six Husbands Trail on Wednesday, though, the rocks were slippery and not giving me much traction, so I bailed on my plans to summit anything and just hung out by the river.
