Access
From the junction of ID-22/ID-28, drive E on ID-22 for 10.4 miles to [unsigned] Chandler Canyon Road/FSR-202. There is a State gravel pit located across the highway here (signed “State Property/Keep Off”). Turn L/N onto Chandler Canyon Road. At 3.5 miles, go through a cattle gate. At 6.3 miles, reach an unsigned road junction (Left is Rocky Canyon Road). Go straight here. At 6.7 miles, cross a cattle gate and enter BLM land. About 100 feet past the cattle gate, there is another unsigned road junction.
The road to the left is Gallagher Canyon Road/FSR-201. It is signed about 100 feet up from Chandler Canyon Road. Continue straight on Chandler Canyon Road, which gets rougher and more rutted from here. You may wish to park at this junction if road conditions are too rugged. You will probably need an ATV or MC from this point. Drive (or hike) up Chandler Canyon Road for another 2-1/2 miles to a junction with Blue Canyon Road/FSR-203. Park here (6,150 feet).
East Ridge, Class 2
The Climb
From the road junction, follow Blue Canyon Road (a 2-track) briefly to cross to the west side of Chandler Creek. Leave the road and bushwhack right/north up onto the crest of the east ridge. Follow the ridge west then northwest as it wiggles its way over Point 7874 and Point 8690 to make a final push west to the open summit area. There is a decent cairn on top.
