AT 137 - 12th August [313.3]

 



Carter Notch Hut


Left hut after breakfast and climbed up Madison, hard up but no problem after breakfast. Then a long climb down from 5347 to 1878 over mostly rocks. Hard on knees. Then a climb back up to 4417 and finally down to 3293. It was a long exhausting day and took all day. Dinner is at 6 so I did the final decent in 32 minutes, my knees were seriously crying but I made it by 5:52 and even had time for a quick swim #32 in the pond beside hut before dinner.
