West Face, Class 2

The Climb

From the parking pullout, walk about 0.1 miles south up Bayhorse Lake Road to a clearing. Leave the road here and drop 15 vertical feet to cross [small] Bayhorse Creek. Once across the creek, scramble up the left/north side of a massive talus slope to reach the pine forest above. Bushwhack southeast straight up the forested face in an open pine forest with modest blowdown. At about 8,800 feet, bend right-ish/east and bushwhack up a final face section to reach the ridgeline summit of Peak 9054. The high point is in an open, rocky area of the ridge. The forested ridge area to the south is slightly lower, contrary to what the USGS topo map indicates. There was no summit cairn so I built a small one.
