The Climb

From the 6,070-foot connecting saddle with Peak 6558, head west on an unmapped 2-track to its end at the mouth of a dry gully that heads west. Follow a cattle/game trail west then northwest up the left/south side of the gully to a point at which a rocky protrusion (shown on the USGS topo map) reaches the gully on its right/northeast side. The cattle/game trail disappears here but the sagebrush isn’t too bad.

Bushwhack northwest for another ½ mile to reach the base of the south ridge of Peak 6890, which becomes obvious as you approach it. Leave the gully and scramble north up the left/west side of a massive section of ridge slab rock then scramble up talus and boulders to reach the rocky summit. The summit of Peak 6890 has a large cairn. Return back to the 6,070-foot connecting saddle then follow 2-track jeep roads (all shown on the USGS topo map) back to Doublespring Road. This 2-peak journey covers 6.5 miles with 1,700 feet of elevation gain round trip.
