i walked up the snowmobile packed road which became more packed as other trails entered. i followed it to a road leaving left (north) just before a "junction ahead" sign. this road had seen travel by some sort of snowcat. i walked it a couple minutes to a clearing with a view to the percys and headed uphill towards the peak on another unused snowmo/atv trail. when this trail turned off course i continued bushwhacking up towards the summit crossing another unused trail or two running perpendicular along the way. the snow was consolidated with a light crust on top. i never sunk in more than a few inches. i hit the summit area south of the highpoint and walked a bit more south to a nice viewpoint to hutchins and cape horn. i then walked north a bit farther to the recognized highpoint. i followed my tracks back out. |
