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.
