Northeast ridge, Class 1-2 by Paul Leclerc
I climbed this peak on 6/23/2019 from the Red Mountain trailhead. From the starting point, follow the road southeast for about 0.3 miles until you reach Road C206 on the right. The sign designating C206 was down on the ground when I was there, so you may miss it. Follow C206 to its end in about 2.1 miles. You will cross a gate at the 1-mile point.
From the end of the road, gain the ridge and approach the slightly-steeper section just north and east of the summit. Depending upon your route along the way, you may have to crawl under several fences. After hiking up the steep part, it flattens out and the approach to the summit is pretty mild. Use your GPS to find the exact summit since there are a few false summits.
As with its neighbors, Red Mountain and Lead Mountain, the views from Peak 6131 are awesome. From the summit, you can see the major peaks of the Owyhees: Hayden Peak, Turntable Mountain and Quicksilver Mountain. Trip stats: 3.4 miles with 2,050 feet of elevation gain one-way; 6.9 miles with 2,190 feet of elevation gain round trip.
