Feeling adventurous? This is a longer, back woods route to Upper 7 Day (also, Upper Free Fall). The climb portion involves various logging roads with one short hike-a-bike. Once onto Silver Hammer (Rowbotham Ramble race days) it will feel pretty lonely and rough. Be prepared for anything. But your options for descending are numerours.
