You can make a climb of Lookout Peak without going near Ruby Lake. From the north shore of Long Lake, head northwest up a large area of black rock, making for the foot of the narrow, granite upper Southeast Ridge. Ascend the ridge directly (an enjoyable Class 3 outing). Either retrace your route or descend the North Ridge to connect with the Mono Pass Trail.
