Yeah, that's a major typo. I did this from the west November 2003. I'm sure it would be very doable now if you guys successfully made it up Bushnell & Twin Sisters. I approached via an old road that goes up South Rock Creek, then bushwhacked steeply up to the N-NW spur ridge that meets the main west ridge at Point 12,100 (12,080+). I came down more directly over Pt. 12,042, then bushwhacked down the slopes almost directly to my car. It was just over 4 hours. Not sure how late Fall snow compares to early Spring, so you might end up walking the road a little further than I did (I drove to the edge of the forest). I can't remember exactly how I drove here - I just used the TI map and the Gazeteer and figured it out after making a few wrong turns. I think I left the highway at Alder (?) (I don't remember much of anything there), and I do remember having to open & close a gate shortly after leaving the highway. Hope this helps!
