Today we decided to climb Robb Mountain. This peak is the southern most part of the ridge “behind” (west) of our house; at 1,820 feet it is the third highest point in Antrim.
There has been extensive logging on the Robb Mt. in the recent past so the terrain is not pristine. However, the views afforded by the clearing are quite spectacular.
The clearest views (and thus best photographically) are to the south overlooking Willard Pond. Mount Monadnock is hidden behind Bald Mountain but Pack Monadnock, North Pack Monadnock and their connecting ridge are clearly viewable above Goodhue Hill.
The steep climb (and probably more so, the descent) are hard on the knees, but the view was worth it. The temperature was in the mid-thirties and it was windy “up top” but not unpleasant.
