This report might be of interest to those participating in the Top 100 Prominence list, especially Mike Garratt, who up to now has done all but two other than this one:

Congrats on getting what must be a seldom climbed summit! (Although someone is stacking wood up there?) Any guess when the southern county hp roads might open up - July 1st?

The stack of wood was really old and about 1' x 1' - 7 or 8 pieces of aspen about an inch thick - a 'wood cairn'. Oddly enough there is a rock cairn a few hundred yards and about 100' lower to the south marking a 5' rise on the slope - a pet grave or something?

Hopefully the roads to county highpoints will be open soon - Bennett actually looked bare and accessible from the east (then from the south 4x4 road). That was a long way from Pagosa Springs, so I didn't bother. The Summitville road was closed at Summitville, so access from the west was not possible.
