Tackling Cannon

Because I am a stubborn bitch I decide I am going to try Cannon again. I do not want to go home without this peak. I decide to try from another direction. I wake up and get ready to go home. I will be headed back after this hike. As I walk out the door I am hit with a dramatic temp change.
Welcome to the 30's!
I head out at about 7:14 on April 30th, 2017. This time I park at the hiker lot at Cannon Mountain Ski resort. I took the Kinsman Ridge Trail 2.1 miles to the Summit. The trail also had the monorail although thinner and I tried my best to maneuver around it as best I could but what I couldn't avoid was the ice.
There were places where I had to really focus and push forward but more than anything was my nerves about coming back down


 Yesterday's beautiful melt frozen in time.



 Of course because I didn't have my printed maps I was paranoid about where the actual Summit was. I climbed the tower and thought I took a video as I walked all the way around but I didn't, I managed to video my feet for 2 seconds. UGH!
I walked all over the ski Summit looking for a sign and finally headed back down. Rumor has it the tower is the Summit. I am not sure how I could get a bigger sign than that!
I was back to the lot at 1:30 with #9 checked off.
