Tuesday, March 6, 2012

Ascent Type:

Successful Summit Attained

Peak:

Little Pisgah Mountain

Location:

USA-North Carolina

Elevation:

Ascent Trip Report

I did this ascent in combination with a climb of nearby Mt. Pisgah. The time, distance and elevation gain in this report are for the bushwhack from the Mt. Pisgah trail and back. The bushwhack was typical for this region: lots of Rhododendron, brush, fallen trees. It would be more difficult than it was today once everything is growing in warmer weather. For more detail on the whole trip see my Mt. Pisgah report.
