Voted 10/10 | This is another excellent Klenke page but I just thought I'd point out some of the road problems I found when doing Purcell. Here's the map I made for Dean's Purcell page: Washouts
I found out later that the road shown coming in from the NE towards Purcell does go and that is definitely the way to do Purcell at present. So I guess you either approach from that direction and follow it up into your route. Or you park at the road washout at ~3000' which is not that far from Whalehead as the crow flies and head up some terrain that may be steep and/or brushy for 2000 feet to merge up with that SE ridge route. Or you probe those roads to the west of Whalehead which I did not try so they may or may not have washed out as well. Or, something else.
