Approach
For directions on getting to Italy Pass, see the "Getting There" section on the main page.
Route Description
Secor describes this route as being a classic class 3 route. It's not. It's an easy, classic class 2 talus hop with some nice views at the top, especially of Royce, Merriam and Feather Peaks.
From the top of Italy Pass or slightly below on the west side, walk/scramble for about a third of a mile to the northwest until gaining a saddle on the West Ridge. Continue up the West Ridge for another 850 ft. or so over talus until reaching the summit.
Essential Gear
None required.
