Access

From ID-33 in Howe, drive north on the paved Little Lost River Highway (which becomes a good gravel road) all the way northwest to the Summit Reservoir. Park on a spur road at the southeast corner of the Summit Reservoir [6,601 feet;44°18’23.6”N, 113°30’24.1”W].

West Face, Class 2

The Climb

From the spur road, walk across the highway and scramble directly east at the northwest summit, which is left/north of the antenna-clad southeast summit. Initially, the terrain is flattish, gapped grass/sagebrush and goes quickly. The terrain steepens after crossing the first dry gully but is still easy short grass and sagebrush with gaps. Descend 10-15 feet to cross a second dry gully with some thicker sagebrush. Climb steeply out of this gully onto a rounded shoulder of very short grass/scrub. Follow this shoulder east then east-northeast to the rocky summit. The summit has a nice quartzite cairn. You may also be able to drive an access road (all on BLM land) to reach the summit area.
