Ascent Trip ReportThis peak has an unofficial name of "Birkenfeld Mountain". My friend Don Nelsen was taking people up into the area, and they were all interested in summitting Birkenfeld, so since it's a P1K, I decided to go along as well and bag this one.
The road into the area is not as bad as I feared, but toward the end I was very happy for my 4WD, low range, high clearance 4Runner. Don had already located the beginning of the "trail" approximately here. We parked at the junction just south of there. The faint trail was easy to lose, but the route was pretty obvious, mostly right up the ridge. The summit area is narrow enough that we could easily tell where the top of the ridge was, but treed enough that we couldn't tell which of the two highest contours was higher. So of course we visited both.
