There is a short section of road (not shown on Google) that continues from the loop up to where the red X is. Park here. Follow the yellow line to the saddle.

This shows the final section of the ridge. Lots of arete climbing prior to this.
Mt. Humphreys approach and route. The line represents where I went, I am sure there are other better ways in some sections.<br>
From highway 168 take Buttermilk Road. Follow the blue path to what Google maps shows as the end of the road with a small loop. There is another short section of road not shown on Google that continues up to a small plateau.
