Elevation: 9,752 ft
This peak is found on pages 287 to 288.
I have climbed this peak three times–twice under a full moon in August. It’s a much harder climb than it looks from the base. Great views on top. Hawley Mountain often is free on deep snow early in the spring. The two routes in the book, the Northwest and Northeast Ridges, are the only routes that I have climbed. While the peak can be climbed from many other directions, these two routes have the best access.

Steve Mandella provided this GPS track from a recent climb. The track shows both routes from the book. The Northeast ridge is on the left and the northwest is on the right.
