This is the climbing trail that takes you to the top of Whaleback. Access is at the base of Lower Ivory Run and climbs straight up to Upper Ivory. Once on Upper Ivory there is a sharp left into the woods that will provide a nice switchback. This then drops back out into Upper Ivory for several more switchbacks until you reach the top.
