Access
Same as for Shril Benchmark (10,694 feet). This is the final leg of a 3-peak adventure that includes Gloved Peak (10,600 feet), Shril Benchmark, and Striped Peak. It covers 13.0 miles with 5,450 feet of elevation gain round trip.
Northwest Ridge, Class 2
The Climb
From the summit of Shril Benchmark, follow the high ridge southeast to a minor ridge saddle at 10,460 feet. This is the connecting saddle with Striped Peak. The ridge traverse from Shril Benchmark to Striped Peak is narrow and rocky with some outcrops to skirt. The terrain is decent shale and presents no problems. You may have some ridge snow to contend with if you undertake this high traverse in early Summer.
