Day 108 - Mahoosuc Notch

August 31 - Carlo Col Shelter to Baldpate Lean-To - 16.4 miles

Tackled the infamous "Mahoosuc Notch" today. It will usually take an average hiker about one hour to complete this 1-mile long section. It is a difficult leg of the trail but also a ton of fun. The deep gap is peppered with large boulders and crevasses that seem impassable but you will eventually find yourself on the other side, though it may take 10-15 minutes. There were a few spots where we had to remove our packs to squeeze through a narrow hole!

Check out this video of me, almost falling on my face in the notch:




We ended up running the last 2.5 miles to the shelter. I was hungry and really couldn't wait for dinner so I entered Beast Mode and kicked it up a few notches. It was great.
