This peak is not in the book. Note as of 2023 the route set from Clear Creek Summit is now closed by the private land landowner. I do not have an update on the Dave Pahlas route. Updated October 2023
I hiked to the top of Gardiner Peak from Clear Creek Summit. Dave Pahlas climbed the peak from the west. His route is recommended over mine because it is much more scenic. Dave’s trip report is linked below. You will need a good GPS to find the true summit in the thick forest and brush that covers this peak. USGS Robie Creek

Dave Pahlas’ GPS track. His round-trip stats: A little over 5.0 miles with just over 1,000 feet of elevation gain.
