Dutchess, Oakes, & GOS - April 19, 2015

Perfect spring day on Sunday, April 19, 2015.  Scott, his brother and I headed up to Mt. Washington bright and early (left Portsmouth before 5 a.m.) and enjoyed one of our longer tours, knocking off Dutchess (not quite continuous), Oakes (airplane gully?), and the Gulf of Slides (#2) on the way out.  GOST was in rough shape at the bottom and legs were shaking by then, result was a bath in a stream with about 15 minutes to go.  Great day on the whole, can't wait to get back to Oakes in particular which looks to be a special place.  Here are a few pictures - Enjoy!
