Access

From US-26 exactly 24.1 miles east of the Idaho Falls Caribou-Targhee National Forest Service Office, turn right/south onto [signed] Antelope Creek Road and reset your odometer. At 3.1 miles, go left at an unsigned junction. At 6.0 miles, go right at an unsigned junction. At 6.9 miles, go right/north at an unsigned “T” junction.

At 7.6 miles, park at a sharp left/southwest bend in the road in the North Fork drainage. This bend is at 6,360 feet and 43⁰28’21”N, 111⁰35’44”W. Antelope Creek Road is a badly rutted dirt road so be advised. Do not drive it in wet conditions. This area is a mix of private and public land, so be careful. The summit of Peak 7105 is on private land but is not posted.

South Shoulder, Class 2

The Climb

From the road bend, bushwhack northwest up through some steep, thick brush, staying left/west of a patch of aspens. Continue northwest up the rounded shoulder, weaving through thick-ish sagebrush until the shoulder gains definition and a game trail emerges. Follow this game trail (and easier, more gapped/open areas of scrub on the ridge crest) until it disappears high up in the thick sagebrush just below the summit ridge.

Work through a final face section of thick scrub to reach the easy [southwest] summit ridge and ridge fence. LOJ shows private land up here but I saw no indication of such. The fence row is generally tight and appears to be maintained so perhaps it is a private land boundary. Drop about 10 vertical feet to a minor saddle and continue to follow a cattle/use trail on the right/south side of the fence row all the way to the large summit cairn, which is just on the south side of the fence row.
