I do not take issue with people who decide that an "almost summit" is the same as a summit.
I just point out that there is not "full support" for this position.

Thank you! Yes, I was thinking of Andrew and Andrea.justiner wrote: ↑Fri Aug 07, 2026 2:37 pm Permission is hard because of fractured ownership, so I'm not sure if (m)any FKTers have asked/gotten permission. You may be thinking of one of Andrew/Andrea's projects where the other three mountains in the group were closed and they get explicit permission from one owner, a little bit before they set up the waiver system.
Good luck to your son in his goals!

Re: Legal Access for Bross
Just tag the summit. Seriously. The "no trespassing" isn't there to protect property, mining, ranching, or any industry or archeological interest. It's there so if you hike it and hurt yourself and try to sue then the landowners can point out they met their requirements of trying to keep people off whatever part of the mountain has some imaginary line on a map.

Everybody climbs it. Nobody cares.
I'm just glad I don't live in a trailer.
