 | Comments: |
We followed the logging road to about 3300' before bushwhacking along the contour to the ridge connecting M. Pilot and Hutchins. The woods were quite open to the significant col. From there it was a mixture of thick and thicker all the way to the top, which was especially thick and a little ledgy. Nice view east near the canister. On the return, we stayed more west of the ridge top and found much easier going. A beautiful pre-Fall day to be in the woods. |
