Glencliff/Carriage junction, where the snow is still deep.

Thin snow at the base, where the trail crosses farm fields.

First good view of the summit, from the ridge crossing. The windswept west face is nearly clear of snow.

From the summit, looking back along the ridge to South Peak.

David on the summit by 9:20am, in conditions warm enough for short sleeves.

From the summit, looking toward the Franconia Range and, whiter and farther, the Presidential Range.
