Overview

The Lemhi Range runs slightly northwest to southeast with the highest summits located in the southern end of the range. All nine 11000' summits occupy the south end of the Lem's.

All are rated as Class 3 scrambles with the exception of The Riddler which rates as a
Class 4.

The ubiquitous USGS surveyor T.M. Bannon claimed a couple of these summits as early as 1913,
while other peaks did not see first ascents until the early 1990's.

Peaks with an * are unofficial names.
