Kearsarge North Trail: patches of snow; some ice; wet and slippery rocks; muddy trails
Most of the way to the summit the trail was dry and easy. However, the last stretch had a combination of conditions - slippery wet rocks; boulders covered with ice; mud; and patches of packed snow. In most cases the ice could be avoided with a little bit of bushwhacking, so just be alert as you hike. Having spikes for this hike would be convenient, but not necessary.
