 | Comments: |
Harder whack than I anticipated due to the thousands of downed trees. From parking I followed the jeep road (several blowdowns) to the yellow boundary markers. With significant downed trees I followed the boundary line as high as possible then headed up, up and even more up. Popped out on the ridge directly below the summit canister. 60 Minute ascent. 45 minute descent. |
