This stupid little hummock is covered in trees with almost no views possible from the summit. Your misrepresentation of this so-called peak is sure to lead others astray. Unless you are doggedly determined to finish the HPS list, this is one to be avoided. That and the fact that I got lost trying to reach the summit may have something to do with my aversion... :-)
I have to say, I learned much on my "enhanced prose" (read over-exaggeration") from your excellent trip reports. Yes, the views may not be as sweeping as some other places but I certainly didn't get lost. And you're probably right, my recollection of views was mostly looking at Baden Powell and coming down the firebreak. It still makes a good warm-up peak unless...see your last sentence.
