Ascent of Kittatiny Mountain-Warren CoHP on 2009-01-18| Date: | Sunday, January 18, 2009 | | Ascent Type: | Successful Summit Attained | | Motorized Transport to Trailhead: | Car | | Peak: | Kittatiny Mountain-Warren CoHP | | Location: | USA-New Jersey | | Elevation: | 1600 ft / 487 m |
Ascent Trip ReportThis was a very difficult hike in 6 to 9" of snow, while snowing, with snowdrifts well over a foot during most of the hike - lots of trees/vegetation, ice/snow coated, weighed down - serious obstacles in many areas. I was officially winter hike "schooled". I'm fortunate I made it home relatively safe. I bit off way more than I could chew with this one. |
