ya that sounds good send me the route..  i think i probably came up with
the same route... but after driving out there last weekend even that
route looks pretty impassible to.... i have pictures ill put up on our
site so everyone can look...  

the best plan my brother and i came up with is to take a boat out on the
lake to a point north west of the mountain the hike up and prety easy
looking slope... only about 2.5 miles.... i could show everyone that as
well
