Access
Fish Creek Road is located along US-20 several miles east of Carey, Idaho and 25.1 miles east of the junction of US-20 and ID-75. Turn left/north onto [signed] Fish Creek Road and drive 5.4 miles north to a signed junction for the “boat ramp.” The “boat ramp” road is actually the West Fork Fish Creek Road. Turn left/north onto West Fork Fish Creek Road and drive 2.7 miles north to an unsigned 3-way road junction. Park at a large pullout on the left/west side of the road here outside a locked, gated cattle fence (5,365 feet).
Southeast Ridge, Class 2
The Climb
From the road junction, jump across the locked cattle gate (foot traffic is allowed on the private jeep road). At 0.3 miles, the road turns sharply left/south and heads up to a private ranch. Though faint, there is a road junction here. Go straight here and follow a very weak 2-track (now just a grassy clearing) up to a fence row that is the boundary for BLM land at the mouth of Stinson Canyon. Cross the stiff cattle fence and follow a decent old jeep road (closed to motorized vehicles) up Stinson Canyon to reach a 6,180-foot saddle at the head of the canyon.
There is an unsigned road junction here. Peak 6467 sits just above, and northwest of, this saddle. From the saddle, go right/north on an old 2-track and follow it up to a fence row on the southeast ridge of Peak 6467. The 2-track ends at this fence row. Scramble left/northwest along this fence row through a combination of sagebrush, other veg, and a few rocky ridge outcrops to reach the cairned summit. The summit offers a splendid view of Stinson Hill to the south.
