| EastKing | Devil's Club Madness  Date Climbed: Feb 26, 2011 | |
| Avalanche Danger was a 4 and 5 in the higher mountains so we decided to play it safe and choose Taylor Mountain. We added though a little more spice by bushwhacking through some very nasty devil's club and other brush. | |

| We came in via the Tiger Mountain Trail system from the South more or less. Following trail and then roads until near the corner of the watershed boundary. Then we took the path of least resistence up to the slashpiles that constitute the summit. We were surprised to find that someone had basically driven a car up there from the NE I guess. Standard offseason P1000 fare. | |

| ericwillhite | Watershed route Date Climbed: Apr 19, 2002 | |
| Approached from west but took a route through the watershed portion. Jumped an old fence with No Trespassing signs. Also continued east from the summit of Taylor looking for Brew Hill...or something like that. Realized that was stupid and turned around. I remember writing a trip report for WTA but they denied it since I was trespassing. How PC | |

| Redwic | A Good Snowshoe Outing! Date Climbed: Feb 26, 2011 | |
| We took a couple of off-road bushwhack shortcuts that are *not* recommended due to thick brush, trees, and many thorny plants (including bramble and Devil's Clubs) encountered. It would have been much easier for us if we had just stayed on roads the entire time, but we were on a partial time-crunch for activities. With low elevation snowpack and high avalanche danger on nearby peaks, this turned out to be a great choice for our day. | |
