 | Comments: |
I did a clockwise loop over the east peak and then started my bushwhack for the west peak ~2700' in a WSW direction towards the col. There were hints of a herd path and a couple of pink taped branches but I ended up going too far south where it was extremely wet and mossy. The NW ascent from there was very dense & dark. The high point was easy to find and the descent, which was much easier, was in a ENE direction where I reconnected with the Bobcat Trail ~2600' very close to the trailhead. |
