Thanks for that report. Your waterfall visit is great addition to the Archer body of knowledge. I'll bet few have documented that. I've often wondered why there aren't official trails in there. There's lots to see.

I've done a few bushwacks in the area about 15 years ago: one in the canyon below and two along the ridgeline. My findings pretty much matched yours. I chose late season timed to get in before the snow hits. The bushwacking was tedious so fortunately the routes in there are short.

Don,

You're too modest....

Chip Down, if you haven't found it yet, DN did a typically DN thorough write up of Archer Mtn on Summit Post with a typical DN map...
