My first 'modern' backpacking trip! From the log: After a brief lunch stop at Imp Shelter, we ascended North Carter, an extremely steep, hot ascent with marginal views at the summit. The trail continued more or less level for a mile or two over Middle and South Carter mountains through scrubby growth and large rocks, not quite high enough to be alpine, but too high to provide decent shade. Unused to backpacking (it had been several years for me), we finally dropped into Zeta Pass between the Carter's and Carter Dome and spent the night among the pines.
Route Climbed: Imp Trail, North Carter Trail, Carter Moriah Trail, Carter Dome Trail, Nineteen Mile Brook Trail Date Climbed: January 15, 2005
Spectacular winter hike with the finest weather and a great crew from Views from the Top (www.viewsfromthetop.com). Temps from 15-25, almost no wind, crampons all day. Great visibility.

Very windy, had to break trail through drifts several feet deep in a couple places, on our way back they'd already formed again
