Northwest Ridge, Class 2+

The Climb

From the 7,610-foot connecting saddle with Peak 7965, head southwest then south through short grass/scrub and across several ridge humps/boulders to reach the bare saddle at the base of the northwest ridge of Peak 7967. Scramble southeast up through an easy pine forest on the left/northeast side of the ridge crest, skirting a few imposing, massive ridge towers. Reach a notch in the ridge between the two highest ridge towers and climb right/south up through a steep pine forest with some downed timber to work around/over.

Higher up, the ridge crest is clogged with thick mountain mahogany. Skirt the ridge crest and angle left/south to reach the high point of Peak 7967, which is the southeast of the two potential rock-and-brush high ridge points here. Bash through thick mountain mahogany and ridge rock/blocks to reach the small summit. I built up the summit cairn considerably.

Northeast Face, Class 2+

The Descent

From the summit, return to the ridge notch then descend northeast down through the steep but easy pine forest to open terrain. Reach an unmapped 2-track road. Head right/south on this road and soon intercept the ascent 2-track for Peak 7965. Go right/southeast on this 2-track road and follow it back to the road junction and your parked vehicle.
