 | Comments: |
From the car, we went on bearing through occasional thick spruce before dropping steeply into Squeeze Hole Brook. Then our route took us through essentially open woods, skidder roads that were often whippy. Headed uphill a little too soon at 2200' and into a band thick spruce. Should have approached the summit from the W rather than the S. Recognized high point found. Returned by essentially the same route except managed to avoid the thick spruce, and upon recrossing Squeeze Hole Brook, we turned north and followed a logging road to the main road approx .2 mile from the car.
Excellent surface conditions - crunchy boilerplate |
