Peak 6860 as viewed from Gallagher Peak.
Access
There is no short access route to this peak. The summit can be reached from Gallagher Peak by traversing the connecting ridge line. FST-029, which crosses the summit ridge, runs between a rugged 4WD road system (FS-613) in the Danskin Creek drainage west of the peak and the Scott Mountain Road to the north. The route from FS-613 is potentially the shortest route to the summit. Check with the Forest Service on road conditions before trying this approach. The approach from the Scott Mountain Road starts 600 feet higher than this peak and will involve significant ups and downs in both directions.
