5 August: Couch Day on Monadnock

Couch Day on Monadnock

According to these guys who hauled up an air pump as well as an uninflated plastic couch to the summit of Monadnock, today was Couch Day. I just managed to haul myself up the White Cross Trail, the first time I managed this particular trail to the summit. I find it a tough hike--a rocky path, areas that require handholds, and scary sections of open slab--even without furniture. Very variable weather, fog drifting over the mountain with some bright patches, so the views were only so-so.
