Overview
Ragged Peak is the most prominent feature of the ridge south of the Young Lakes region of Yosemite. It lies 4 miles north of Tioga Road and its summit provides an excellent view of the Tuolumne Meadows and northeastern Yosemite backcountry, with probably the best view of Mt. Conness and it's stunning SW Face.The peak can be climbed in a half day from the Lembert Dome parking lot. The easiest route is a light class 2-3 scramble from the saddle to the east of the peak.
Besides the class 2-3 southern route, Secor lists the NW Face as Class 5, the NE Face as 5.6, and the E Face as class 5.
Please feel free to add a route to this mountain if you have more information on any of these approaches.

From the parking lot, head back and to the left and you will pass the signed Young Lakes trailhead. Follow the Young Lakes trail 3.5 miles to Dingley Creek, passing signed junctions with trails to Lembert Dome and Dog Lake.At Dingley Creek, one can head offtrail north towards the saddle between Ragged (on your left) and Peak 11255 (on your right). A faint use trail can be found once you climb from the valley floor.
Alternately, one can continue to follow the Young Lakes trail as it circles clockwise around the Peak.
