South Baldface from Eastman Mountain. (COURTESY PHOTO)

Some mountains are noted for their good view of a higher nearby peak. Such is Eastman Mountain (2,939 feet) in North Chatham. Its view of the rocky dome of South Baldface (3,570 feet) less than a mile away is striking. There is something elemental about gazing across at a bare rock mountain.

I had only been there once before over the years because I preferred to climb South Baldface. But last Sunday morning I headed north on Route 113 from Fryeburg, Maine, with the intention of climbing Eastman Mountain.
