Comments
Comments: No hiking trail(s); accessed by way of new and old logging trails (with permission of the landowner) off from the northern end of Pinnacle Road- accessed from the west side of the road.

The hike up consisted of of recent logging trails up to near summit (where the dedicated memorial is to James Thompson Ruger), and then old logging trail up to what we believe to be the true summit ***THE SOLE PURPOSE FOR THIS HIKE- to attain an as close as possible, unobstructed view of CROYDEN PEAK*** without trespassing. The logging trails are strewn with branches/roots, but easily negotiable, excellent shape for this type of access route.

Completely free from snow, ice. Thus, no supplemental traction required.
