Peak 5764 is a sub-peak on the Southwest Ridge/Face of Peak 7900. It sits above Barn Canyon and Lava Lake to the southwest. Peak 5764 is a fun, rocky scramble from Lava Lake Road via the South Ridge. The land to the west and north of Peak 5764 is private property. The summit high point is on private land, but barely so. It is just north of the BLM boundary and is not posted.

The Climb
The parking/camping area is located at the toe of the South Ridge of Peak 5764. From the grassy meadow, scramble N up the grass/sagebrush hillside to the base of the rocky outcrops on the South Ridge. Climb up through, or over, the rocky terrain (outcrops/talus/scree) over several false summits to reach the [slightly-higher] true summit at the ridge’s N end. The summit is a small rocky outcrop with a modest cairn. I added a few more pieces of talus to the cairn. There is a nice view of Lava Lake from here.
East Face (Descent), Class 2
Access
Same as for the South Ridge Route
The Descent
From the summit, descend a scrub and gravel slope eastward to reach the gentle saddle of sagebrush. The lower part of the East Face is thick, tall sagebrush. A fence row crosses the saddle from SW to NE. The area north of this fence row is private land. Cross a cattle gate to reach the saddle’s high point slightly SSE of the fence row. From the saddle, follow a 2-track jeep road SSE then S to return to your parked vehicle.
