Two Grants Peaks (South East Horn Brook Peak), Hell Gate Mtn. (East Horn Brook Peak)
I got off to a rough start, hitting lots of clear cut w/second growth. From there, I hit good woods to the top of Two Grants. The summit is marked by a yellow X. The townline (between the 'two grants') is marked. The col between the two peaks is logged and has some hard second growth to get through. It is a thick and steep bushwhack to the top of hell-gate. This is a really cool mossy summit, right to the recognized high point.
On the return I cut back torwards the col and slabed south to avoid swamps. Again, painstaking second growth was encountered. |
