Peak 7810 separates Burnt Creek from Pinto Creek in the foothills of the northern Boulder Mountains. It sits above nearby Trail Creek Road and is best reached from that road on a spur road that heads up Pinto Creek. The east ridge is an aesthetically beautiful sight to see from Trail Creek Road.

East Ridge, Class 2
The Climb
From the parking area at the base of Pinto Creek Road, bushwhack up steep-ish sagebrush and other scrub to reach the crest of the east ridge. Work up through a few rocky outcrops early on. The shale scree/gravel on this ridge is only moderately loose in a few spots. The sagebrush quickly shortens and becomes more gapped, making the ascent to the rocky summit area quite easy.
The summit of this scrub hump is surprisingly rocky. A rocky, north-to-south high ridge segment has the high point. The north summit seems to be the high point. The cairned south summit is a few rocky humps, and a good 100 feet, away. Visit both “just to be sure.” While the southeast face is a shorter climb to the top, it requires scaling mostly steep, loose gravel and there are no roadside pullouts along Trail Creek Road from Bartlett Creek Road to Burnt Creek Road anyway. Stick to the beautiful east ridge for this peak.
