    I've been to Mount Frissell on at least four occasions.  I have climbed it by two different routes -- the one described in Charlie and Diane Winger's book Highpoint Adventures and by the "jeep road" trail described in Don Holmes' book.  I greatly prefer the "jeep road" trail, although a traverse is possible.  My last visit to Frissell was on August 27, 2005 with EEU, Tom, and WCU.  Tom and WCU missed the trail cut off from the jeep road, so they ended up climbing Brace Mountain, New York first.  Here's some pictures from the climb.  Enjoy.
