Mt. Pierce is also known as Mt. Clinton. A beautiful day, though windy up on top - we went zero exposure. The group of kids behind us were in blue jeans. :o\ We climbed in our new plastic boots. Brought snowshoes but didn't use them -- the snow was fluffy but solid. Only ran into trouble right at tree line where we postholed up to the chest into tree wells a few times. Very fast descent. Dinner after at 99, and a cold, but comfortable night in the yurt at Intervale due to MITOC Avy School.
