Went to White Cap first. Logging road and herd path easy to find and follow. On way down there is a herd path well above the col marked with a
cairn. I started down but it seemed to be going away from NKD and after
5 minutes or so I ended in a field of ferns. So I climbed back up to
logging road and went down and found the herd path in the col. Staying on the herd path most of the way up & bushwhacking the rest mostly just by
going up I reached the viewless summit. I took a bearing straight to the
col on the way down and the herd path went almost right with it. I lost
the path & bushwhacked the last few hundred feet out to the road. It sure
was nice to get back to the truck and out of the midday sun. |
