| Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Parked at the Class VI road sign. Pike hill is mostly unpaved, but easy travel even in my low clearance car, just a little slippery. Went through the construction (they were working today) to the start of the class VI road. Beyond this point the road is private due to residence beyond. |

| Comments: |
Off and on rain didn't hinder conditions. Walked up hill on class VI portion of Pike Hill Rd, taking a left on to Cuts Brook Road. Road is grassy and the entrance is blocked by large boulders. Followed CBR to approximately the HOL where there was a large puddle blocking the road. Took this opportunity to jump into the woods heading directly to the summit. We climbed more steeply just to the west of the ledges where we found the woods road heading directly to the summit and small canister. Descended on the woods road back until it seemed to head east instead of north to CBT. Bushwhacked short distance back to CBT and followed roads back to the car. |
