There are at least 2 hard core hikers left in Elliot Lake. Heat nor bugs could not deter us. At the circle (really just a line), the signs of heat prostration were reviewed, however, it was the the insects which were more bothersome. The trailhead was found with no trouble, thanks to a thorough reconnaissance. However, the "back route" was not found properly and we ended up ascending close to the usual steep "goin up" trail. We agreed the marking of the trail deserves further study... A nice breeze at the top was refreshing and the descent was very fast.
