Ascent Trip ReportMiddle Carter Mountain was a blur on our way to Carter Notch hut. We had left North Carter Mountain around 3:00pm and were hiking along the flat ridge at a strong pace. Around the col, I heard voices ahead. We were close to treeline and there were views all around. Soon, ascending up to Middle Carter, I heard the voices again more distinctly. A few minutes later I reached the group of 3 that had started the same morning on a Wildcat range traverse over to descend North Carter trail. I chat with them a bit and they resumed their hike as Stéphanie and Éric reached us.
From there, it was a matter of around 5 minutes to get to the actual summit. Views of the Presidentials from here were amazing and the sun was giving it a dramatic color. It was now around 3:45pm. We didn't really stop here and kept going towards South Carter Mountain. Getting to the col was very easy on some gentle grade trail.
