Access
This peak is accessed from FSR-243. See the Indian Mountain page for access information. Follow FSR-243 toward Indian Mountain for 3.8 miles and a small meadow. Park at this point.
North Ridge, Class 2
From the parking area, walk south toward the peak’s north ridge. A faint game trail emerges as you reach the forest. The north ridge is brushy so do your best to stay on this game trail which soon reaches the east side of the ridge crest. Follow it to the big, bald summit in just under a mile.
