Summitted Camel's Hump via the Long Trail South (Duxbury Trailhead) on this toasty VT summer day.  The trail was relatively dry (as far as Vermont hiking goes) - the route up has several views of the Hump - which looks deceivingly far away each time. It also saves ~ 1000' feet of climbing for the final mile - nothing like a good old slog to the top. Stopped for summit snacks & then boogie'd on down.  Pretty low traffic day on the trail (aside from the popular summit itself and Duxbury window), just a handful of thru-hikers.
