A Steep Pitch

There are two, maybe three of these scrambly sections before the steepness of the trail begins to lessen. There are several more excellent viewpoints looking back west across the valley, each one providing a slightly higher perspective on the landscape. Across the valley we could identify many of the major features of the eastern slope of the Presidential Range: the Gulf of Slides, Tuckerman Ravine, Huntington Ravine, Lion's Head, Boott Spur, and, of course, Mount Washington itself.

The grade and the views continued to lessen as we climbed higher. There's one very nice viewpoint to the south (most of the views are to the west) that also gave a glimpse upwards to the first highpoint along Wildcat Ridge: Wildcat 'E'.

Designer Steps
Almost all of the up was now behind us, and we walked along a pleasant conifer-lined pathway with occasional views back towards the Presidentials. Mostly the footing is quite good, with the occasional rough patch.
