From my 11 ascents1) Signal Ridge at 4.5 miles offers good views in all directions although summit blocks distant views in that direction
2) White Mountain Guide speaks about trail climbing to col between the twin summits, the W summit is further than the tower summit and about the same height with herd path to campsite halfway
3) Carrigain Pond on the W shoulder is a remote destination, the little knob overlooking it is sometimes called The Captain
4) Carrigain Brook Road referenced in WMG had logging last winter and thus recently upgraded first mile
