I entered the woods between campsites B7 and B8 per previous reports. There is orange surveyors tape up to the col just to the east of the drainage; I ignored it and followed my bearing. East Peak was fairly straight forward and easy to find the high point. Going towards West Peak, I stayed to the north to avoid what I thought was a wet col, but it was completely dry. I'm glad I stayed north anyways; the woods were better and it put me in a good spot to avoid the cliff band, and started my approach from the northeast end. After finding the highpoint, I whacked directly off the summit, somewhat SE, to a flat area at 2300', went due east till I almost hit the drainage, then got on the east side of the drainage directly back to my car. Last person to sign in on both peaks was Liam about a month ago. |
