Took the logging road to the WhiteCap herdpath start, then easily to summit. In my haste to keep moving, forgot to sign the register, but did take a self-portrait next to the canister! Back on logging road, descended to a grown-in logging road a bit above the col. Started down that, but it trended WSW downslope, so bushwhacked straight across the col....pretty thick in places...until picking up what appeared to be the main herdpath all the way to the summit. Canister is a glass jar. Descended the herdpath until losing it around the col, then bushwhacked back to the logging road. |
