Peak 7091 is a ridgeline summit that sits on the east side of Bear Lake. It separates Bee Hunt Hollow from Cooley Canyon. Its ranked neighbor to the north (Peak 7202) is only slightly higher. This area is a mix of private and public land, so be careful. This climb is entirely on BLM land. USGS Pegram Creek

Northeast Shoulder, Class 2

The Climb

From the 6,420-foot connecting point near a corral in Bee Hunt Hollow, skirt the right/west side of a patch of trees and scramble left-ish/southeast up steep sagebrush onto the rounded shoulder. Follow the open shoulder southwest on easy scrub to reach a talus slope. Scramble up the talus then through a patch of aspens to reach steep grass high up. Climb up the steep, grassy slope to reach the small, rocky summit of Peak 7091. The summit has a large summit cairn with a cavity in its center.
