| Parking/Access Road Notes: |
I had previously scouted routes from ME 17 without much luck. I chose to tray to go in from Rt. 4. I took Falls road in township E. The road was gated, but there was no lock, so I took a chance and drove in. It was no problem to get a small car all the way to the col, about five miles from Rt. 4. |

| Comments: |
I bushwhacked along the ridge from the col. Woods were mixed with open woods, thick sections and cuts. There were some impressively tall snowdrifts (up to 10 feet) but I was able to avoid significant walking in the snow. Good views from cuts. The highpoint is recognized. |
