We bushwhacked and broke trail south west until we got on top of the ridge which runs south from Gooseberry Mountain toward Saddleback, then followed that ridge to the summit. There was steep deep and loose snow. We saw no broken trail off the summit toward Gothics. Our route is west and generally parallel to the Orebed Brook Trail. Until someone breaks trail to the Gothics-Saddleback Col, this is the most distinct track south of the slide.
Folks ought to know what they're getting into if they follow it.
