Peak 7356 is located due south of Cloochman Saddle and Squaw Point. Although a relatively minor peak, there are fantastic views of the Lick Creek Range peaks to the east and big peaks like Bruin Mountain to the south. USGS Black Tip

Cloochman Saddle/North Slopes, Class 2
This peak is easily approached from Cloochman Saddle to the north. The Saddle is reached from Warren Wagon Road/FH-21 [(B)(2) on Page 135] and FS-492. Follow Warren Wagon Road north from ID-55 for almost 23.0 miles. The turn for FS-492 is on the left, just 150 feet before the pass. FS-492 leads to Cloochman Saddle in 3.0 miles. The road receives occasional maintenance and should be passable for passenger cars when dry. There are a few campsites at the road’s end. From the saddle, climb the peak’s grass- and downfall-covered North Slopes to the summit. My GPS recorded 0.4 miles with 350 feet of elevation gain to the summit.
