advice on less climbed ME peaks?

[buckyball1]

Hi all--again looking for some help on "less renowned" peaks in Maine

I use Delorme, Google Earth, Nat'l Geo Topo to plan, but this info is often incomplete and/or outdated--hoping to hear from someone who has been there and done any of these. I'm looking for road approach/condition and suggested climb routes, trail/herd paths, 'wack thickness, etc. Feel free to PM/e-mail me with the info if you feel this clutters up the Board
thanks

Bill Merrill (near Hiram) (info provided to me-thanks)

Trask and The Pinnacle (both near Canton/W Peru)-DONE 8/24(happy to share)

Burnt Hill (near Bingham)

Old Turk and Beaver (both north of Rumford)-(think i now have Beaver figured out--thanks)

Passadumkeag (near Burlington)

Russell (up Pittston Farm way and NOT Little Russell)
specifically-any idea if there's a path of any type from the nearby campsite area at Lost Pond

I work around Rumford 1 day a week. Any of these peaks open enough to ski? IE secondary growth less than two feet high and 4 feet or so between trees, nw to e esposure?

LS-- you mean the ones i did around Rumford/Bethel the last 8 days? i'm afraid not even close, unless you want to ski the logging/4 wheeler roads; no clear cuts, all woods--except of course for Abram

Russell may be a whack. I was at Lost Pond last year and looked around on that side of Russell and didn't see anything marked or obvious openings. Never heard of a trail up, though there was recent logging in the area, you may luck out and get part way up on a skidder trail or something.

Passadumkeag has radio equipment on it and is easily accessible. There is also a Geocache there. See this link for info -
