The Climb
From the parking pullout, Peak 6610 is due west. It is the middle of three humps. Point 6383 lies to the right/north and Point 6556 lies to the left/southwest. Be sure to aim for the correct hump to minimize your sagebrush-bashing efforts. Peak 6610 has a notable cliff band just below its summit ridge. Bushwhack west across tall sagebrush and other brush (with decent gaps) to reach a dry, scrub-free gully. Cross the gully to reach a shoulder and easier scrub. Upon reaching the crest of the shoulder, go right/west-northwest and scramble up to a hump at the east end of the summit ridge. Continue west, dropping 10-15 feet to a minor saddle, to the summit of Peak 6610. There is a small cairn on top.
