| Comments: |
we bushwhacked up in nice open hardwoods to the southeast peak with a transition to conifers around the summit and recognized highpoint. more real nice going across the ridge and up to the false summit on jackknife where we hit a nasty logging cut in the small saddle before the summit proper. once out of the saddle the woods were good again to the recognized highpoint. there was more logging to the north and west, but by taking a southern line down we had nice woods all the way back to the road and car. |
