The Climb

From the roadside pullout, bushwhack east up through tall, thick sagebrush (initially) then gapped sagebrush with lanes in a very steep face section. Aim to reach a rocky outcrop at Point 6560+. From this rocky outcrop, descend 20 vertical feet east to a flat sagebrush area. Continue bushwhacking east up a ridge to reach a rocky cliff band. Once atop it, scramble east across a flattish section with a few rocky outcrops to go over or work around to reach the cairned high point of Peak 7486.
