Left Mt. Pleasant at 11.30 and Mt Clinton at 12.05. Back at the hotel at 7.10. I now know that I can climb up to Mt. Wash- ington. Next year after a little training I will try to this, while the Lemnit House is still open, and then stay one night so that I may see some rise. In about three hours time I climbed at least 2875 feet, but as we go down here nearly 500 between Mt Clinton and Mt. Pleasant it is evident that I climbed over 3300 feet in this time and over about 4 1/2 = 9 miles. In going to Mt Washington one does not climb on Mt Pleasant but goes to the East side. There is a long once a low steady ascent all the way from near Mt Clinton passed out Franklin and Mt. Monroe. Then one is at the base of Mt Washington or about 1200 feet, over a elbow up to the highest point in the White Mts at 6296. This climb drives scale next year. I must also then make a collection of Alpine flora. This may be interesting now. Everywhere the rocks are variable granites, with innumerable pegmatite dikes and here and there then vein-quartz veins. There is also some mica-schist and inclusions in the granite. The granite is by no means regular in grain and at times becomes almost wholly quartz. It's a very irregular granite and seemingly must be near the roof of its intrusion. I saw no evidence of sedimentaries.
