there is a lot of roadside technical ice in Keene Valley.

I didn't mean to post anything misleading about it, just kind of passing on what I've read (and I've been told not to believe everything I read!). In fact, perhaps the SP entry about Central Gully is misleading itself...my apologies, though.

Get up early and climb up past Interior Outpost, Indian Falls, Little Marcy to Mt.Marcy. My map says roughly 4 miles one way. My buddy took my book and brought it home, so I can't be more of a help on distances. Sorry. The trail is well trodden, so we would not have to break new snow. Snowshoes are fine. Skis work also. Climb down. Makes for a rather LONG Saturday!
