Bushwhacked through many briars up old overgrown road to old tower and building foundations and peak of Burgess Point. Decided to go down a clearer but steeper way to the road, then hiked back on the Pinhoti Trail for the most enjoyable part of our hike. There’s no easy way up Burgess Point as the gentler slopes are too overgrown, and the clearer slopes are too steep.
