Kelly knob was after Tray Mountain, and just before arriving at the Deep
Gap shelter.  I think its main problem is that it comes, for some, at
the end of the day. It was a good climb. I remember sitting in the
shelter (in '92) listening to everyone who came into the shetler saying,
"What an awful climb!" over and over again.  It made an impression. You
may not have stayed at Deep Gap (it was brand new that year - still had
roofing nails lieing all over the place).  I don't think it would make
as much of an impression in the middle of the day.
