Suddenly got cool. notch very abrupt, many crannies and bowlders with snow and ice underneath. about 1 1/2 miles, very unusual. Came to beaver dam, trail flooded, getting late. Finally located trail on far side and climbed in the twilight toward Speck Pond. Very stiff climb. Arrived Speck Pond Shelter by moonlight at 10:00 PM. beautiful view of lake, very tired. Slept heavily.
