teresting feature was to look down 10,000 feet
from upon the filling sea of silver clouds. By
me relief the top begins to come in mist and
by time it rains.
The mountain is not made up of granite but
rather greisen and pegmatitic rocks,
rather of a highly micaceous greisen. Banding is very
decided and ohm, plainly in the northeast surface,
see the fine rock samples.
Alpine flowers are still to be had. There were
plenty of sandwort (Arenaria picea lundica) and a
few hours of hot sun would have shown more. From
1 second species in the dominant vegetation. The
rocks are all green with a thin pungus growth.
Felt the altitude but little, just a little
dizziness but it did not last. Climbing made me
speak some for lunch.
Left Botten Brook by 3.45. Here I waited
return for train to Crawfords. Still still showing.
