While technically a bushwhack, there is a pretty well defined herd path all the way to the top. Some minimal flagging, which was not all that useful as the path varied from the flagging at various points. A small cairn marks the spot where the BW turns right off the fire road. Canister and log in good shape. A couple of us used rock spikes descending from the summit but they were not absolutely necessary. Nice to visit this peak and honor a friend, Ray Loring, who died while hiking this peak in 2008. A nice tribute to Ray in the canister and on the back of the summit sign. |
