Meet at the Dickerman Mountain TH parking lot @ 7:15 AM. From there we will consolidate to two vehicles for the drive in to starting point.
This is a seldom climbed mountain, so there is minimal bata. Expect some periods of heavy brush, creek crossings, step hard snow, and potential route-finding challenges. However the views of the other Mountain Loop Peaks are spectacular.
