Ascent of Brushy Mountain on 2020-05-16| Other People: | Solo Ascent
Only Party on Mountain | | Date: | Saturday, May 16, 2020 | | Ascent Type: | Successful Summit Attained | | Motorized Transport to Trailhead: | Car | | Peak: | Brushy Mountain | | Location: | USA-Virginia | | Elevation: | 3560 ft / 1085 m |
Ascent Trip Report- Parked near the wilderness sign, the trail looks good.
- After the saddle, the trail does not follow the dashed line on the topo map. Instead, it goes between the dashed line and county boundary to reach the ridge.
- I left the trail, followed the ridge line until I encountered multitude of rock outcrops, then went a little NW side. I used pruners nearly entire ridge.
- On descent, I went with least bush resistence, eventually getting down to the trail via NW slope. |
