One of two peaks on a massive North-South ridgeline, North Massacre Peak is seldom climbed. I climbed this peak from Buck Springs in conjunction with a climb of Massacre Mountain. USGS Massacre Mountain

Access
The route in the book begins along the Long Lost Creek Road [(A)(6.1.1)(a) on Page 290]. This approach provides the shortest route to the summit. To climb both Massacre and North Massacre via a long, scenic ridge walk start at Buck Springs Road [(A)(6.2) on Pages 290-291]. Please note that Buck Springs Road is incorrectly identified in the book as Burnt Creek Road. The route from Buck Springs Road is a long Class 2 hike to the summit.
