Toughest and probably most isolated peak I have climbed. I followed a dry wash west to the very steep face south of Currant, then north along the ridge. It felt wonderful to reach this summit.
Duane, Ken, and I bagged this one in a trip that netted us 6 P4Ks in 5 days. We had several more on our agenda, but the early snow and bitter cold weather discouraged us enough to send us home early.
Made my way along ridgeline from the North over tricky sub-summit, to Currant Mountain, and along South to some further highpoints before making the nasty descent back toward the car.
Route Climbed: SE ridge, then N to Duckwater and down. Date Climbed: July 23, 2005
Very few names in the register -- maybe 1/yr. We saw deer/elk bounding down the west side of Currant, far below the cliffs. There may be a way to cross Currant N to Duckwater; we descended to 11100' on the miserable talus and headed N.
September 2004: Reached the north sub-summit after a long and difficult traverse of the north ridge.
June 2007: Reached the true summit from the south ridge using an easier route.
