Comments
Comments: Tricky bushwhack on this day. It starts just past large rock on Carrigain Notch Trail, where trail curls sharply to the left. We then proceeded up a gully-like herd path, but then it got confusing. Edging to the right, we got to the scree field. We then went too far up it. Only go about halfway up and look for opening into the woods on your left. Then take an immediate sharp right and you'll see the steep herd path.
