| I approached the summit from the west flank of the mountain as my VW Jetta that I owned then would not make it to the pass. After passing several cattle stock ponds, the route soon changed to large basalt boulders, which were firmly placed and made for easy boulder hopping. Above this area just under the ridge I spotted a coyote running along the scree. Once reaching the ridge south of the summit, the approach to the peak is class 2-3 scrambling. Once reaching the summit, the last summit register entry was from June, two months prior. The views from the top give a whole new perspective of Fish Lake, and the Hightop country to the south west. This is an excellent summit for those wanting to avoid the crowds. |
