This peak is not in the book.
Peak 10340 is one of four Boulder Mountain peaks with 300+ feet of prominence that surround Little Fall Creek. This peak can be climbed from all of the drainages that surround it. You should be able to find a Class 2 route no matter which way you approach the peak.
Little Fall Creek provides good access via a mining road that climbs up to 9,200 feet. As of June 2015, the road was blocked by two large fallen trees just above the second creek crossing. Most high-clearance vehicles (driven carefully) can make it to the first creek crossing. A 4WD will be necessary above the creek crossing, and many 4WDs will have difficulty crossing a large step on the talus slope above the first creek crossing. The road makes an excellent hiking trail.

The lower section of the Northeast Ridge is forested. Once you break out of the trees, you will have clear going.
