Ascent Trip Report

- even not shown on any map, there are sections of abandoned 4WD trails connecting Lee CoHP to 3300.
- on ascent, I followed the ridge full of rock outcrops, being forced out couples of times, requiring class 2 moves.
- on descent, I dropped down as the resistance permits, then traversed back the ridge to bypass the outcrops.
