Comments
Comments: From the parking area I walked the Kanc S to the eastward bend and headed SE toward the ridge W of the summit. Much of the ascent was through scrappy and moderately thick woods. Once on the ridge however the woods opened up nicely. Heading E to the summit I jumped onto a couple of herd paths with the last one leading right to the register. On descent I tried taking a more direct NW route back to the Kanc but the woods were no better or worse than my ascent line.

Short on time with afternoon plans this one fit in well - especially with the dreary weather since there are no views to be had at the top besides one obscured view just below the summit area. I think it even rained a little while I was on the slope but I didn't feel it in the thick-ish woods.
