Michael Stoger and Jeff Smith placed three new climbs up this face Jughandle Mountain during July 2002. In 2003 Michael place another route on the face, this time with Mike Teschner. Below is a little general information on the peak. Click below for specifics.

Jughandle's north wall is about 600 feet tall and consists of very good granite. See photos below. Mike reports the climbs as follows:

Access: To reach the peak’s north face hike to Louie Lake [(B)(4)(a)] and then follow the trail on the left side of the lake until you reach the south end lake. From the end of the lake hike to a small boulder field and then scramble up a grassy ramp which follows along a 30 foot cliff until you reach the top of the next"level." From this point, cross a large boulder field to the base of the north face. It takes about 1 hour from the lake to reach the wall. The area in front of the wall offers several walls of very good rock ranging from 50 feet to 100 feet.
