So far I am good to go Karl. I am definitely planning to be there. I guess I deserve it, just like we were successful the second time at Mount Ford.

Hello Yvonne.
Kelly's group did it in eight hours, so I expect we could do the same. Travel time would be about 30 to 45 minutes from Vedder Crossing.

Not sure of what you think of the original approach. I used the short hike approach, when we could drive a long way up from the east. I would think of this a relatively new approach.
