| Parking/Access Road Notes: |
We drove in from Katahdin Iron Works road towards the White Brook Tr., but stayed straight instead of turning left at the high bridge. We followed the main road towards Greenwood pond, parking just northeast of the peak. Lew's high clearance was much appreciated, though mid clearance or less may be okay. |

We bushwhacked straight up from the road. Half-way up we hit some tighter evergreens. The upper slopes offered some nice open woods. We had to hunt around a bit on the broad summit before finding the recognized highpoint. We took a similar route down. It was great to get to a few seemingly elusive peaks with Lew and bryan. |
