Drive: From the junction of Broadwater Road in Robson and Pass Creek Road, turn north and drive 9.8 km to Norns FSR.
0.0. Drive on Norns Road for 11km to just past a cement bridge. This road is deactivated further on.
10km. Go straight on West Ladybird FSR. The right goes to Norns FSR. (a potential route?)
15km. Turn right heading north.
25km Park at the road’s end at 5700 feet SE of the SW ridge of the summit.
Route: Cross the creek, then bushwhack through a clearcut (in 1990 – I imagine it has grown since then) to alpine timber and onto a ridge. Flagging was placed. There are many ways to access the ridge and there are as many routes as people on the trip from here.
