 | Comments: |
We took a left off Carrigain Notch Trail shortly after crossing the scree field at about 5.5 miles in from the parking lot. from there we followed the ridge up to the main scree field crossing the field and proceeding up the left side to the summit. the ridge was easy to follow without the use of GPS or a compass. Above the scree field, the herd path was easy to follow to the summit. there were several areas with tangles of blowdowns while crossing to the summit. on the way down we took an easier route by whacking to the NNE then looping to the right to a SSE direction back to the heard path below the scree field. This is a true bushwhack. We were able to avoid the blowdowns and steep areas up top and the scree field. We followed the same ridge line on the way down that we used on the way up thus avoiding the lower steep areas that you encounter if you turn off after the Rock. Please message me if you would like a copy of the track. NOTE: there was no water available after the main water crossing on the signal Ridge Trail. |
