Access

From Donkey Hills Road exactly 5.2 miles northwest of Short Creek Road (see Access Section for Squawtip) and just before a sharp left/west bend in the road, turn right/southeast onto a 2-track side road. Drive 0.1 miles southeast on this spur road and park at a cattle fence/wire gate in short, open scrub (6,920 feet and 44⁰16’16”N, 113⁰39’01”W).

West Ridge, Class 2

The Climb

From the parking area, cross the wire gate and follow the 2-track road southeast down to a crossing of Burnt Creek. Cross the creek just downstream from the deep, watery road crossing of the creek. Once across the easy, narrow creek, scramble left-ish/northeast up the toe of a bare shoulder to reach a rounded ridge crest of short grass/scrub. Follow the ridge as it wobbles a bit but heads generally east then northeast to approach the vast, open northwest ridge of Peak 8467. Angle right/east then southeast to directly reach the cairned summit. On the descent, be careful to not wander too far south and end up on posted, private ranch land.
