Ascent Trip ReportCoudn't crack the code on this one. Tried to bag it from Tower Hill Rd, but it's a lost cause unless you want to trek through somebody's yard <100ft from a residence. In hindsight, the best options are probably to approach from the E or NE. To the E there's a tower access road that turns north from Tower Hill Rd. This will get you to within 500ft or so, at which point you may still have to trek on private property. Mr. Bernier was the last to bag this peak, which he did in Sep 09, and he took the route from the tower. However, he did have some issues with the land owners. As he suggested, it may be more discrete to approach from the NE, which appears more wooded.
