Access
Same as for Negro Peak (10,573 feet). This is the third leg of a 4-peak adventure that includes Negro Peak, Smithie Peak(10,263 feet), Peak 10336, and Peak 10177. It covers 11.5 miles with 4,600 feet of elevation gain round trip.
Map Errors
The USGS topo map fails to show the old road (now a foot trail) that continues up Deer Creek well past the two old cabins where the jeep/ATV trail ends at about 8,360 feet.

The Climb
From the 9,859-foot connecting saddle with Smithie Peak, scramble southeast in a mix of ridge pines and rock to reach a left/east-southeast bend in the ridge high up. Scramble across open talus/scree and easy tundra to reach the forested summit of Peak 10336. The cairned high point is at the east end, a ridge corner in an open spot.

The Descent
From the summit, descend south then southeast in a mix of rock and pines to reach a small, semi-forested connecting saddle with Peak 10177. This 9,860-foot saddle concludes the third leg of today’s 4-peak journey. Peak 10177 is up next.
