0.1 Beaver Pete Road - go straight ahead (east).
2.6 NO-45 Road - dirt - continue straight (east).
3.2 T in the road - turn left (borth) onto a dirt track.

Hiking directions

With permission, I bushwhacked almost due east to the high point about 0.9 mile from the house. I used my GPS to pass Leaper Lake on my right and Spruce Lake (didn't see it) on my left. From the saddle separating the two lakes, there's a west-facing ridge going right to the (now obvious) top, a good stiff climb. The owner at the house said that most of the land (and roads) in the area are owned by a timber company and they open and close the roads in the area at their whim. His road stays open, though.
