A solo hiking adventure exploring Ragged Mountain and its satellites in the Boreas Ponds Tract, involving scrambling, bushwhacking, and route-finding among several unnamed peaks with views of high peaks like Gothics, Basin, and Haystack. The day featured good trail maintenance to the base cliffs, then off-trail exploration with steep terrain, exposed ledges, and beetle-infested conditions.

Two hikers completed a winter ascent of Giant and Rocky Peak Ridge on March 21, 2026, finding unexpectedly limited snowpack, bare patches, and mostly cloudy views. Microspikes sufficed for most of the day, though crampons were required or strongly preferred for the steep ascent and descent of the "problem ledge" on the way back up Giant. Afternoon warming and stream flow created increasingly slushy conditions on the lower trail.
