Approach


Turn north onto Highway 75 and travel 36 miles past Ketchum over Galena summit. Once into the Sawtooth Valley, turn right on the Pole Creek-Germania Creek Road and drive 4.6 miles on gravel and 7.5 miles on a primitive surface over Pole Creek Summit through 3 fords of Germania Creek to a trailhead at Three Cabins Creek at 12.1 miles. Here take a road heading north for about 2.5 to a trailhead (the road continues), park here.

Route Description


From lake 9197 head north to the base of the peak. Look for a large gully that is narrow at the base and starts directly below the summit. Start the climb on the right hand side of the gully and as you ascend switch the left hand side.

The boulders get bigger in size and you have many route options to reach the summit.

Essential Gear


Helmet

Trekking poles would be good to have, but not a necessity.

Recommend a camera, so many lakes and peaks around this area
