Peak 8860 is a gentle hump that is located on the east side of Doublespring Pass Road between Spring Hill and Peak 8937. It sits above, and northwest of, Carlson Lake. This is the third leg of a 4-peak adventure that includes Peak 9053, Spring Hill(9,449 feet), Peak 8860, and Peak 8937. It covers 12.0 miles with 4,175 feet of elevation gain round trip.

Access
Same as for Peak 9053. This is the third leg of a 4-peak journey.
Southwest Ridge, Class 2
The Climb
From the 8,580-foot connecting saddle with Spring Hill, scramble north then northeast up the ridge on a combination of scrub and loose scree/gravel. The summit is at the southwest end of the summit plateau/ridge crest. The rocky high point has no summit cairn. From the summit, return southwest down the ridge then bend right/west and follow a spur that leads down to a saddle (and 2-track road) at 8,500 feet. This is the connecting saddle with Peak 8937 and concludes the third leg of today’s 4-peak journey. Peak 8937 is up next.
