Western Slopes, Class 2

Follow the 4WD road toward the peak. Park when you are due west of the summit. cross the intervening sagebrush covered terrain to base of the peak’s west face. Climb the obvious line to the summit. My GPS recorded 1.2 miles with 365 feet of gain round trip.

Southwest Ridge by Livingston Douglas

Southwest Ridge (Class 2)

The Descent

The summit of Peak 7395 has three or four potential high points, not just the cairned high point. Stand atop all of them just to be sure. The cairned is probably, but not necessarily, the highest point. From the summit area, descend south then southwest on the rocky ridge crest. Downclimb a few rock strata to reach a wide, sagebrush area that is the saddle. It is not a well-defined saddle like most saddles. This is the low point and the connecting saddle with Taylor Mountain (8,644 feet). This is the first leg of a 2-peak adventure that includes Peak 7395 and Taylor Mountain. Taylor Mountain is up next.
