The shortest distance between two points is a straight line, so I bushwhacked that route up. The snow in the back was very deep, the east face of the summit is "cliffy", and the route up was too steep and loose to descend. Trudging through 4 feet of snow around the backside to get back to Mitchel trail was the least bad option. Nice bushwhack up, dark hike down :)
