 | Comments: |
From vehicle, followed a well beaten snowshoe path heading S on the unplowed portion of Ore Hill Rd. We assumed that this would lead us to the summit, but the path continued straight at a POSTED gate. Here we turned E for the short bw to the summit through wide open hard woods. Miserable uphill breaking conditions where we often punched through the unsupportive crust (the downhill trip was even worse because we constantly broke through). Plastic bottle on summit had teeth punctures. |
