I am doing the Saranac 6 challenge and this is the third one I've done. It is the shortest one so I used it as a warm up for Haystack. Although it is not a long hike it is a bit steep. The false summit has more of a view than the actual summit. I was on the summit for a few minutes trying to find the trail to go on before I realized I had reached the end of it.
