The Climb
From the ridge saddle along FSR-027, hike south on an old 2-track road briefly to where it ends. Bushwhack through thick blowdown, brush, and aspens to reach the ridge crest. Scramble south up the narrow ridge crest in easy pine forest. Scramble over a 7,270-foot rocky ridge outcrop (a pile of boulders) and descend 25 vertical feet from it to continue up the ridge to reach the brushy summit. I rebuilt the small, torn-down cairn.
