Dial & Nippletop

[jvs]

I plan on doing this hike on Monday. Looking for advice regarding the safest direction and most untiring direction. I plan on hiking to Dial first via the Leach Trail, my thoughts are that it will be easier in the return by walking the Lake road, not sure of the steepness this way though. Your thoughts on my approach are appreciated.

Take a look at my trip report from about a month ago.
