Wanted to establish a women's time for this route. Let's make this fun!

A rare day when the summit was 10-20 degrees warmer than in the notch (the warmest place in the state on this morning was the summit of Mt. Washington). Clear blue skies and no wind. A special day on our temperamental mountain! Felt not great the first mile - 1.5 miles with stomach pain and just overall sluggishness, but recovered quickly. Pretty well-broken out everywhere, but I think this could be faster in the spring when the trail's a bit harder/less loose snow. I'll try it again later this year.
