Access
Same as for Peak 8141. This is the second leg of a 2-peak adventure that includes Peak 8141 and Peak 7326. It covers 8.5 miles with 3,425 feet of elevation gain round trip.
North Ridge, Class 2
The Climb
From the 7,020-foot connecting saddle with Peak 8141, follow the ridgeline southwest in short, easy grass/scrub up over Point 7200+ then descent in easy field grass down to a bare saddle at 7,060 feet. From that saddle, scramble south up easy, short grass/scrub to the bare summit of Peak 7326. There were no signs of previous ascent so I built a small cairn on the open high point.

West Face, Class 2
The Descent
From the summit, descend north (briefly) then head west on a northwest-leaning, grassy shoulder steeply down to an ugly, cliffy ridge outcrop. Leave the ridge and descend left/southwest into a gully then onto a grassy shoulder that heads west. Continue following grassy shoulders and faces westward. Cross a final gully and contour left/west onto an old 2-track on a steep shoulder. This 2-track goes directly northwest down to Ennis Gulch in a meadow and a fork in the canyon. Follow the Ennis Gulch Jeep Road southwest back down to your parking spot.
