7 Summits In 3 DaysThis one was the least challenging of the trip but more interesting than I expected. Like Redwic said, I wore sandals on the way to the summit.

Nicer Than ExpectedI summited this peak with "Gimpilator". He was not initially excited about this peak because of the short road-walk, so he wore cotton clothes and sandals from the car to the summit. We were both very surprised at the outstanding 360-degree views from the summit, and we enjoyed seeing the old trail, USGS Benchmark, and stone steps leftover from the original lookout site. This would be a great place to see views of forest regrowth in action in the surrounding valleys and ridges, in a few years. Great views north towards Windy Peak and Remmel Mountain, and south towards Tiffany Mountain.
