The Climb

From Gooding Cow Camp, Peak 7220 and its southeast ridge are obvious. From the camp, jump the cattle fence and scramble west-northwest up a sagebrush shoulder, using a cattle trail to expedite the bushwhack through the sagebrush. Reach a large cairned point/hump at the top of the east shoulder, where the shoulder reaches the southeast ridge. Follow the cattle fence on the ridge up to its end at the base of the steep summit hump. Bushwhack up steep sagebrush then a final testy (Class 2+) section of boulders and aspens to reach the small summit. The summit has a large, torn-down cairn amidst the brush.
