Ascent Trip ReportWe did a crazy bushwhack over Green - started at the trail head to Owls Head Lookout, climbed Owls Head and then started down the valley trail that leads to the Lean-to and the back side of Giant. About 0.3 miles from the junction of Owls Head with the trail we turned and began the bushwhack up the lower peak in front of the ridge-line for Green. The initial bushwhack up was similar to a Catskill bushwhack with the leaves and the lowland brush whipping you but changed quickly after we emerged onto the slide, checked out the views and then pushed along the Green ridge. This part of the whack was over 1.25 miles and was extremely dense - we moved at less than 0.5 mph at many areas and it took us 2 hours to reach the "summit". For the summit there are no views but we did go trough the woods toward the western ridge a short distance to look through the trees toward the back of Giant. From this point forward we chose to bushwhack down to the lean-to and then take the trail towards Hopkins out as we had staged a car on 73. Tough 12+ mile day but a fun one. |
