The Climb

From the small saddle, bushwhack steeply east up through thick brush, willows, deadfall, and snags to reach the semi-open summit area. The high point is to the left/north on an obvious hump as the USGS topo map indicates. There was no cairn on top so I built a decent one on the high point. The summit offers decent views of the surrounding area.
