Coming back from NY, 3 of us hit up Mendon for maybe Frank's NEHH finish. We started from the Bucklin Tr and followed the road. We crossed the river then followed some roads upwards. We eventually reached a point and just went up. We approached from an angle I have not done before. It was steep. The snow was somewhat firm. Sometimes we broke through and sometimes we stayed on top of it with snowshoes on. We found the summit and also went to the false bump as well. I did not realize there was a spectacular view to the south from there. We did not bother signing into the canister. We headed back down the same way we went up.
