Access and Routes by Derek Percoski
This peak can easily be combined with an ascent of Inyo Benchmark or Basin Peak (or both) via class-2 connections. The most direct access is from Patterson Creek Road, however there are no bridges across the creek and even crossing in the fall without getting your feet wet is a challenge. There’s a tree crossing a 6500’, right where East Fork Patterson Creek branches off. This is also the point where the 4×4 road turns into more of an ATV trail, despite being designated for full-size vehicles.
