A great little quick hit from camp. If you climb it after the hike in from Needleton (like I did) be sure to move fast. I ended up bushwhacking in the dark back to camp... don't follow my down track hahaha!
Peak Five is way up on the list of scenic summits and it was over the top during a sunset. Wouldn't have done this one any other way.
