Southwest Face, Class 2

The Climb

From the 7,020-foot connecting saddle, climb northeast across a dry gully then straight up a sagebrush face. Skirt the right/south side of a rocky outcrop and then bushwhack up and left/northeast through thick sagebrush and other brush. A final push left/north up a minor gully puts you back on the ridge crest. Follow the narrow, rock-and-brush ridge crest east to the cairned summit of Peak 7350.

The Descent

From the summit, follow the ridge west briefly. Leave the summit ridge and descend south on a shoulder to cross a broad gully and begin a diagonal left/south trajectory across several shoulders and gullies to reach a flattish section of a major shoulder at 6,600 feet. Find a good cattle trail here and follow it as it contours south and then angles diagonally lower but stays above (and right/west of) a cattle fence. Descend left/east below a few rocky buttresses to approach Alder Creek to the south. Reach the right side of a fence row and cross Alder Creek at a wide, shallow point. Follow the fence row a short distance up to Alder Creek Road and your parked vehicle.
