Ascent Trip ReportThis was part of a 4 day backpack trip to Lyell and Parsons to get the two county high points. After slogging up the talus pile to the summit of Parsons, we went downhill about 100 feet to find a small cairn at the point where three counties meet. Although there was no summit register, there was a small metal disk that read "CRE 855 COHPER".
