Go right/southeast here and drive a couple miles to reach a junction with the Pierce Canyon Road. Drive about 100 yards up Pierce Canyon Road to the juncture of the two spillout forks of the road at 7,000 feet. Park here (44⁰12’39”N and 112⁰53’44”W).

Leave the road and scramble east-southeast in open scrub to reach the crest of the southwest ridge at about 7,600 feet. Follow the open, rounded ridge east then northeast to 8,200 feet. Continue up the ridge (east then northeast) to reach the gentle, open summit.
