How to get there:
One can drive (2022) a surprisingly good logging road all the way to the end of a very high climbing road. This is location N50.25587, W126.21927, elevaton about 1250 meter. An ordinary van with 2WD made it to the last water bar, essentially the end of the road.

Route::
Head directly up from the end of the wall. Fairly steep terrain, frirst crossing the area where trees are cut, then through old forest. The slope eases and you will pass up through a shallow col then immediately arrivng near the lower end of a nice gully that ascends to your right. Follow this to the top, then traverse left and walk up on easy terrain between a couple of small, local hills. You will soon reach the summit with a pretty nice cairn.
Comments:
We camped at the end of this road and ascended the peak the next morning. The ascent took about 45 minutes. We stayed on top hoping that the clouds would clear. No such luck, but a weak rainbow showed that blue sky and the sun were close by. The descent took about 30 minutes.
