North Ridge of Lake Fork Peak

North Ridge of Lake Fork Peak. View from Kachina Peak (UN 12,481). UN 12,819 ("Bighorn Peak") is seen in the background (left). The traverse route goes along the ridge towards Pt. 12,535 (center) and continues to the summit of Lake Fork Peak (highest point, right). The direct route ascends black rock outcropping/headwall in the center (Class 3+/4). An easier variation (Class 2+) goes below it on the right side (note some tracks in the snow). 04-25-2009
