Hiking
Challenging last part of the scramble up to Round Top Summit, which has two rocky peaks separated by a deep rocky ravine requiring some sure-footedness. At this elevation snow can linger long into early summer, so poles, ax, and crampons may be needed, depending on snow and trail conditions.
