 | Comments: |
the Signal Ridge Trail to the Carrigan Notch trail is well trodden and easy to follow. A few minor muddy sections can be avoided by careful rock-hopping. Very gradual incline to the Carrigan Notch trail. Gradual incline to 'Vose Spur Rock' and then slightly moderate to the HOL. Started bushwhack approx 0.25 north.
I ascended Lowell then Anderson through extremely thick, heavy, nearly impenetrable alive fir trees and transitioned through extremely thick, heavy and nearly impenetrable dead fir trees. Challenging whack that left me battered, bruised, cut, scraped, punctured and with spaghetti legs. Last log entry on both peaks from mid-Jan 2015 |
