Peak K

Overview

Peak K sits high on the ridge line separating South Black Creek and North Slate Creek Valley. Peak K is a remote and rarely climbed mountain. It demands probably the longest ascent of any of the "letter peaks"

Getting There

Few other Gore Range summits require as long as an approach as Peak K does. Peak K can be reached via three different routes and each requires two full days for the round trip.
