Start at the White River Trail. Hike up the level valley trail for about 4 miles.
At around 2500' the boulder trail heads off to the NE. Head up several switchbacks. Around 4000' the trail levels out a bit and starts to head along Boulder creek till you reach a crossing. Cross the creek and head North up a couple of small switchbacks. Right around 8.5-9 miles at 5000' look for a climbers path "sheepherders path" to the NW of the trial. It is easy to fallow through the meadow to the head waters of Boulder creek. Stay on this path as it traverses a slope heading SW. There are some tiny switch backs that take you up to around 5600'. At 5700' step off the sheepherders path and head NW up onto a grassy knoll at 6000'. This is a wonderful spot to camp!

Route Description

Head N-NW over a small hump with trees. Continue in this general direction. From here you can see several notches shoot for the one furthest to the NW of you. The notch is at 7200' just before the rock cliffs that are part of the summit ridge for the East peak. It is the last notch on the ridge. Once you have found the notch it takes you down a class 2 200' gully. Can be sketchy descending with fresh snow and ice on it. Once down the gully start to traverse to the lower shelf. The shelf is nice with a stream running through it. There is a perennial snow field that you cross or can scoot around. Keep heading NW till around 8000' then head North and scramble up the last section to the summit block. This section is class 2 with some class 3 spots.

Essential Gear

In early season Ice axe and crampons are needed. A helmet is also recommended for the gully and final scramble.
