Corkscrew trail

Hasn't voted

When I first climbed this peak, in early 2007, I did not ascend directly up the western side. Instead, I found a clear trail from the saddle on High Drive which leads counter-clockwise around the mountain: first to the climber's right onto the south slopes, then the east slopes, and finally onto the north slopes, where it finally heads directly uphill to the summit.

There are two trail heads on the right side of High Dr, one is marked as Trail 665 and the other seems to not be marked at all. The unmarked trail is the steep trail, 0.3 mile to the summit, that is referenced on the route page. Trail 665 can be used to get to the top, and is much less steep; you still have to leave the trail to head to the summit, but there were tracks in the snow for us to follow.
