Camel's Hump

Straightforward hike, uncommonly easy and quick for a 4000-footer, at under 5 miles. Recent snowfall and traffic earlier in the day provided a nice, soft pack so snowshoes worked the whole way. The summit cone did have bare rock and ice, but with some care the snowshoes were fine (just 40-50 feet total of that). Used my Kahtoola K-10s for the first mile but found they weren't really helping all that much, so I switched to snowshoes and wore them the rest of the way up, and all the way down. The K-10s would have been helpful on the summit cone, but snowshoe televators made the overall ascent much easier. mountain-forecast.com is usually pretty spot on, but this time they were a little off. Had some sun and clear skies, and wind wasn't half what was forecast (just 10-15 mph tops, and that was only occasional weak gusts). This is 60 of the Winter 67 New England 4000 footers for me.
