W7O/SC-214 was a nice little mountain that I did after Holcomb Peak. Basically you drive past Holcomb peak a bit SE and it's pretty self explanatory of where to go. You'll take a small spur road and depends on your vehicle how close you can get. You can park in some large pullouts just a little ways up the road or jeep it another 1/4mi or so. Depends on how much pinstriping you're looking for, it gets narrow with sharp manzanita and no easy turnaround. 

  Pretty much hike up the old timber road and it will take you to the summit. It is a pretty easy hike with great views behind you and sedum covered ground and an open operation area. It was still windy when I went but the timber shielded me from feeling any of it, at my 1st summit, Holcomb,everything was getting blown down. I enjoyed my activation with several Mountain Chickadee and nuthatch chasing through the manzanita. If you do this summit, you might as well also do Holcomb only a mile or so away. de AG7GP http://www.pnwsota.org/blog/ag7gp/2021-december-08/holcomb-peak-or-dec-2021
