| Comments: |
Parked at the end of Mill Brook no problems. Went directly across the road to open area to start and should have gone back down the road about 200 feet and started in. Stayed on the ridge line with no problems. Interesting coming up to the base of the mountain, then up. Found many herd paths or things that looked like herd paths up to the col. Down low was a little muddy but avoidable. Bugs weren't avoidable. Anytime things looked thick we stayed right (East). Just had to duck and grind about the last 200 feet. Nice outcrop about 20 feet from the summit for the only views of the day. Pretty straight forward whack |
