A relatively easy day. We started up the logging road, eventually getting off the logging road and on to the Spirko route. and as we kept following the Spirko route we kept crossing logging roads. At a certain point we opted to follow the logging road south and that took us to a place directly below the east face of the summit. We worked out way across the slash and up the steep east face. If you do this during summer, you could use a bike for the approach and have a lot of fun biking down the logging roads.
