Ascent Trip ReportThis is probably the hardest bushwhack I've ever attempted. The Mountain Laurel, Rhododendrons, and Blueberry bushes are so dense they're practically impossible to pass through. At times I found it very difficult to even push through them at all. I tried twice to get through in two different areas and I was defeated both times. I finally gave up.
