Comments
Comments: This peak is on the NH 2000-Footer and NH 500 Highest list. From our parking spot we walked the road for a few hundred yards or so and started bushwhacking east in nice woods with some ups and downs heading towards the col between the summit and a bump to the northwest.

Once at the col we continued toward the end turning southeast picking up the ridge avoiding the cliff areas. This ridge line starts off in nice woods the turns to thicker spruce for a short distance before you hit the summit and recognized high point.
