Approach


Follow directions in the Getting There section for the trail which leads to the beginning of the route up Koch Peak. The southeast ridge is the easiest route to the summit of Koch Peak.

Route Description


The route begins at the southeast base of the mountain. There is not a defined route / trail to the summit so just follow the scree slope to the summit of the mountain.

Essential Gear


Summer gear would include sturdy boots, walking poles, and plenty of water. I have not seen this mountain in the winter but I would assume that all normal winter climbing gear would be required.

Miscellaneous Info


If you have information about this route that doesn't pertain to any of the other sections, please add it here.



"Beneath high cliffs I live alone. Swirling clouds swirl all day. Inside my hut it might be dim, but in my mind I hear no noise. I passed through a golden gate in a dream. My spirit returned when I crossed a stone bridge. I left behind what weighted me down."   --Author Unknown
