Climbing Connecticut’s highpoint |
 When I reached the top of Round Mountain, I looked back at Mt Frissell and spotted the young woman who’d overtaken me near the top of Round Mountain while I was heading up towards Connecticut’s highpoint. She’d found a secluded spot near the state’s highpoint and – far from the madding crowd (which clearly included rattlesnake experts and New Zealand climbers) – was now sunning herself in peace. |
