From the common saddle, head north along the ridge toward small tarns and the intersecting rock walls called the Playpen. Farther north the ridge narrows at the Neck, with deep cracks and cliffs on both sides, before the Bullmoose Creek viewpoint. Retrace the ridge to the saddle; the cliff-bounded margins do not provide an ordinary descent route.
1. Getting there and parking
Drive north from Tumbler Ridge on Highway 29 for approximately 8.8 km and turn onto Wolverine Forest Service Road. At road kilometre 12.2, turn right onto Perry Creek Road and follow it past the mine. Take the right branch at kilometre 10.2, left at kilometre 12 and right again at kilometre 13.7, continuing to the large gas-well clearing at the end. This is an industrial-road approach with mine and possible logging traffic; follow current signs, radio requirements and any access restrictions around the well.
