Access

From the signed junction of FSR-015/Little Smoky Road and FSR-018/Liberal Creek Road, drive southeast up FSR-018 for 0.8 miles to just past the road crossing of Liberal Creek. Park along the road at the base of an obvious shoulder to the right (6,560 feet).

Northeast Shoulder, Class 2

The Climb

Leave the road and scramble southwest up a mix of scrub and shale to reach the crest of the shoulder. Continue southwest then west to reach a better-defined ridge and a fence corner. Follow the old fence row south up to a high ridge. Leave the fence row and scramble right/west to reach the top of the summit hump. There is no summit cairn. The shoulder climb is through typical sagebrush and presents no major problems or rocky areas.
