Ascent of Bluff Mountain on 2018-07-28| Other People: | Solo Ascent
Only Party on Mountain | | Date: | Saturday, July 28, 2018 | | Ascent Type: | Successful Summit Attained | | Motorized Transport to Trailhead: | Car | | Peak: | Bluff Mountain | | Location: | USA-Virginia | | Elevation: | 3520 ft / 1072 m |
Ascent Trip ReportThe abandoned trail is not visible at all from Jone Mtn Trail, the ridge is easy to navigate but painful to bushwhack through. There're series of bluffs between 3320 to 3400. No view at the top. I tagged Jones Mtn on return, short but painful bushwhacking, no view either.
