This was honestly the hands down weirdest hike I have ever done. I wanted to do the presidential traverse starting at Madison and ending at pierce but I got up there and it was remaining hard, really cold, and I was fully in a cloud so there really weren’t any good views. I was falling behind my time limit and the rocks were really slippery so I made the call after Adams to turn back. That was really the point where I had to make the choice and Felt no need to prove anything two days before leaving for xc preseason. So I decided to go down great gully trail which oml that should not be called a trail. I was bushwhacking my way basically down a vertical waterfall. It was only a mile long segment but it took me 50 min just to get down that. After that I explored the subway cave system which I had never done and putzed around there for quite a while, bouldering some and taking my time. Once I got bored I made my way down ending with a nice trail run. Quite a weird day and now what I was expecting but overall really fun solo hike. I’ll miss the white mountains so much
