Once you gain Billy's hill, the route takes you to the east along an old and not so clear fire break. While somewhat overgrown, the trails are still easy to follow. Be careful of ticks in this area. This is the beginning of the bushwack section. Follow the ridge until you reach the top of the Cortina Ridge.
Once gained, the spot looks like a four way intersection. The path directly south is the most direct route to the summit, but involves extreme bushwacking. Not recommended unless you like pain... The path west is somewhat less direct, but is MUCH easier to follow. About 3/4 to 1 mile along, the road turns left, follow it and in another 2 miles or so, the summit will be gained.
