"Parked off a dirt road as close to the mountain as I could get on its NW side (Google Maps names it Rice Road). Climbing straight up the side looked doable, but a dirt-bikers road that climbs up its western ridge caught my interest. I aimed for the road route and quickly ascended to the ridge. Unfortunately, the road kept going down the other side. This left me with a rocky ridge crossing over to the peak. I climbed over and around the dark boulders along the ridge, which was actually kind of fun and much more varied than climbing straight up the side. I made the summit with little difficulty and was surprised to find a large rock piled wind break surrounding the summit, complete with a fire pit. Something like that I've only seen on more popular high points. Somebody put a lot of work into making it a true destination. On the way back, I decided to go down the side instead of following the ridge. Therefore, I unintentionally formed the visit into a loop hike instead of an out and back." — MikeTeeples • Mar 7, 2021
