North Ridge Update by Livingston Douglas
Snow Peak is a gentle giant that lies between Bonneville Peak to the north and Haystack Mountain to the south.
North Ridge, Class 2
Access
Same as for the south ridge of Bonneville Peak. This route is part of a ridge traverse from Bonneville Peak to Snow Peak.
The Climb
From the 8,660-foot saddle at the base of the north ridge, follow the easy ridge southward on broken scree and short scrub/tundra to the gentle summit. The summit of Snow Peak has a nice cairn with a triangulation post in it. The east side of the mountain is a series of gentle, open scrub slopes. While there is no trail to the top, there is no need for one.
