It was a short trip up the Mt. Langdon Trail before we hit the Mt. Cave path. It's an interesting little trail, kind of haphazardly laid out, with plenty of steeps going up to the interesting "cave", and a nice view south, including Bartlett and an interesting view of Chocorua.
The climb to Parker was pleasant, on a lightly trodden path, my favorite kind.
After a steep section at the end, we came out to a fantastic ledgey area with views to the north, east and south, including this nice view towards Carter Notch.
Joe was here earlier this year, and directed us on a thick but short bushwhack to another ledge with fantastic views to the west, including this view of Carrigain, and the Nancy/Lowell/Anderson blah blah blah complex.
After a rather steep climb, next up was SE Resolution, an unkept side path, but again a nice ledge with great views.
More pleasant woods brought us to the south summit area of Resolution. From here, we would bushwhack to the north contour of Resolution, what is regarded as the true peak. I've been here before and had a pleasant time of it, Joe hit bad woods, and Brian needed this for his 3k list. Well, we hit bad woods. Looking back, we went in pretty much a direct line from the south to north knob, instead of skirting right when I came here. From the north bump, we had a nice view of the Presidentials, and we could see some folks over on Stairs.
As it turns out, one of those people is on the boards, and saw us, too! Heading towards and down the Davis Path we saw yet another untrailed ledgey bump not on any list, but I definitely want to visit sometime, and this nice view of Stairs.
