Hey! I was up there a few weeks ago. The road to the camp is de-activated before the first of two bridges so you have to hike into the camp. We camped before the first deactivated bridge and hiked the extra half hour into the camp. The bridges are both still intact - so you could get bikes across them.. although there are some holes in the bridgedeck. You should be able to make it up on bikes or quads until at least the first river crossing. Took us about 4 hours to bushwack through to the slab (we only got the first pitch in before having to head back down) but we flagged a bit and did some trimming with a machete up to the camp. The trail should be fairly obvious now, just follow broken branches, although past the last river crossing we had a hard time following the trail up (and back from) the slab so we just bushwacked and used our GPS to meet up with our original trail. I'd like to organize a trail work session for later in the summer, so if anyone is down PM me. Also if you'd like pics PM me and I can send you a link.
